About Thunder and Rain
Erinn Peet Lukes started Thunder and Rain in Denver's bluegrass scene after settling in Colorado in 2013. She grew up in Redondo Beach, California, and writes the band's songs and sings lead. After a pandemic hiatus she moved to Nashville, met fiddler Amelia Ransom and banjo player Laura Ray, and the three re-formed the band as a trio.
The songs lean on three-part harmony and sing-along choruses, with ideas taken from pop, country, classic rock and old-time and played on bluegrass instruments. Storybook Sessions, the band's fourth release, came out in October 2024. Lukes has said it was cut in single takes with no overdubs. Murder ballads and Appalachian folklore run through it, in songs like "Ash and Rain" and "Wendigos Wandering."
Thunder and Rain has toured the US, Canada, Ireland and the UK and shared stages with Billy Strings, The Kruger Brothers and Peter Rowan. On her own, Lukes has opened for Rachel Baiman and John Paul White. The band's bluegrass versions of popular songs have drawn hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube.
