About the Event

The Fabulous Thunderbirds are a cornerstone of contemporary blues and blues rock, known for classic albums like T-Bird Rhythm and the platinum-selling Tuff Enuff, which featured hits like the title track and 'Wrap It Up.' Led by founding member Kim Wilson, the band has earned seven Grammy nominations and more than twenty Blues Music Award nominations. Formed in 1974, the band marks its 50th anniversary with Struck Down, their first new studio album in eight years. The album features nine original songs co-written by Kim Wilson and Hamilton bluesman Steve Strongman, plus a powerful cover of Memphis Minnie's 'Nothing in Rambling.' Produced by Wilson, Strongman, and Glen Parrish, and mixed by Shelly Yakus, Struck Down includes guest appearances from Billy Gibbons, Bonnie Raitt, Taj Mahal, Keb' Mo', Mick Fleetwood, Terrance Simien, and Elvin Bishop. The Fabulous Thunderbirds continue to tour internationally with Kim Wilson, Johnny Moeller, Bob Welsh, Rudy Albin, and Steve Kirsty.
