Riverhead, NY - March 19, 2015 - Multi-platinum Texas/Swamp Blues sensations The Fabulous Thunderbirds – known for Texas blues/ pop hits “Tuff Enuff” and “Wrap it Up” are scheduled to perform at the Historic Suffolk Theater on April 11, 2015 as part of a blues/rock weekend that includes seven-time Grammy Nominee Joan Osborne.
For over 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 that soared their way through the Billboard charts. 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 Jay Moeller on drums, Johnny Moeller and Mike Keller on guitar, and Randy Bermudes on bass.
The Fabulous Thunderbirds are scheduled to perform on April 11, 2015 at the Historic Suffolk Theater as part of a weekend that includes blues/rock legend Joan Osborne. For tickets and information: www.suffolktheater.com.
