Neil Thompson, a lifelong musician and songwriter, is a late bloomer in the truest sense. At 64, after 50 years of playing, performing, and writing music, he has entered what some call the “wisdom art” stage—a point where life’s journey culminates in one’s most creative moments. For Neil, that time is now.

Since the pandemic, Neil has embraced the importance of living in the moment and the joy that comes with aging. With age comes confidence, with confidence comes expression, and with expression comes clarity—all of which shine through in his music and performances.

Neil has shared his songs with audiences in Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver, receiving a positive response across various age groups. His message is simple but powerful: aging is not a limitation. His music reinforces that “old” is not a bad word, confidence is king, and despite life’s challenges, we all have the choice and the ability to make it “A Good Day.”
