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 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." Fabulous Thunderbirds with Stand Up BassIn 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.

Shemekia Copeland’s innovative blues music comes from deep within her soul and is influenced by the sounds of the Harlem streets where she grew up -- street performers, gospel singers, radios, bands in local parks. This Grammy-nominated artist has headlined at the Chicago Blues Festival, shared the stage with Buddy Guy, BB King, John Mayer and other legends, and been compared to soul-drenched divas like Etta James and Koko Taylor. Copeland’s passion for singing, matched with her huge voice, gives her music a timeless power and a heart-pounding urgency.
