Thunder And Rain

Thunder and Rain is a 5-piece acoustic americana band from the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Consisting of acoustic guitar, mandolin, dobro, fiddle and upright bass, Thunder and Rain seamlessly blends their favorite elements of bluegrass, country, pop and alt-rock to cultivate their own take on the American roots music traditions. Driven by the catchy choruses and dreamy melodies sung by Erinn Peet-Lukes, the band perfectly supports her heartfelt songwriting with strong country grooves, lush harmonies and rich instrumental decoration. Erinn formed the band in the fall of 2011 when she moved to Colorado from Brooklyn, NY. Since then, she has added the classical talents of Ian Haegele (Upright Bass), the smooth sounds of Chris Herbst (Dobro/Lap Steel), the crisp chop from Dylan McCarthy (mandolin), and the beautiful melodies provided by Natalie Padilla (Fiddle). Thunder and Rain has played for audiences in Canada and Ireland, as well as across the US. Their meaningful lyrics and soaring choruses have connected with fans both young and old. They are now touring on the heels of their second full length album, "Start Believing". Notable past achievements include being 2014 Rockygrass Band Competition finalists and Erinn Peet-Lukes being a 2018 Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition finalist. Covid put the band on hiatus. Erinn Peet-Lukes moved to Nashville where she met Laura Ray (Banjo) and Amelia Ransom (Fiddle) and reformed the band as a three piece.
