Lightnin Rod and the Thunderbolts

About

Multi Music Award Winner. Bring a dynamic, high energy live show to every stage they perform on. We are a Blues/Rock Band who perform many original songs as well as covers.

Music has been called, “Eric Clapton meets Bob Seger at Muddy Waters’ House.” But, those who try to pigeon-hole his music will be left scratching their heads. Always a blues rocker at heart, his music also has shades of soul, Motown, Rock, gospel and roots influence. 

He has shared the stage or recorded with members of The Allman Brothers, Buddy Guy, Joe Bonamassa, Bob Seger, Stevie Nicks, Delbert McClinton, Robert Cray, Cher & The Temptations, just to name a few. 

They have performed or headlined at such prestigious venues as The Dayton Blues Festival, Nickel Plate Blues Festival, St. Benedict’s Blues Festival, Lake Cumberland Blues Festival, Muscadine Festival, Raisin River Festival, LaPorte County Blues Festival, City of Lexington 4th of July Celebration, Toledo Public Library Concert Series, Clinton Fall Festival, VetJam, Lancaster Theatre, as well as, many radio and television appearances.

Songs

We have different set lists for each venue or audience that we perform for. There will be classic songs from the 60’s & 70’s, as well as, Motown classics, and of course, blues songs & originals from our several well-received and radio charted albums.

Reviews

Live music booking reviews from clients who previously hired Lightnin Rod and the Thunderbolts

The Stonebridge Summer Concert series in Wilmore, KY, has been in operation since 2007 (minus Covid year of 2020) and in that time period they have performed three times, the latest being this past summer. They are always a delight to work with and very flexible to the needs of the organizers. We have found them to be talented, professional, and very much a “crowd pleaser.” We will not hesitate to invite them again!
