Here is a band that i have liked for over 20 + years or so, I love they're style of "Blues" The Fabulous Thunderbirds
For the past 30 years, The Fabulous Thunderbirds have been the quintessential American band. The group's distinctive and powerful sound, influenced by a diversity of musical styles, manifested itself into a unique musical hybrid via such barnburners as "Tuff Enuff" and "Wrap It Up". Co-founder Kim Wilson, the sole original member, still spearheads the group as it evolves into its newest incarnation.
"We started as a straight blues band," vocalist and harmonica player Wilson says. "We now incorporate a mixture of a lot of different styles. We're an American music band and we're much higher energy than we were before."
In addition to Wilson, the current Thunderbirds line-up features Kirk Fletcher and Nick Curran on guitar, Jay Moeller on drums, Ronnie James Weber on bass Go to the T-Birds' official web site for the most up-to-date tour dates, hear clips of the latest release "Painted On", featuring Rachel Nagy of The Detroit Cobras on "Love Speaks Louder Than Words."
