About Us
Meet the members of Thunderhug
Rachael "Eye Candy" Gunn
Lead Vocals
A dancer by profession, this smart and silky atomic blonde can really rock with smooth to raspy-rockin' vocals depending on the song.
Bill "Bang Bang" Gunn
Drums, Cajon, Vocals
Drummer, Bill Gunn, is a musician who has been rocking the west coast since 1991 and these days, can be found sitting in with several local bands. Music is both powerful and beautiful. This drummer knows this to be true, and cannot see great joy in life without it.
Gaston "Artificer" Briones
Electric Guitar, Synth, Vocals
Gaston has played musical instruments since grade school finally settling on the guitar. His use of the guitar synth happily allows him to play some unexpected sounds that help bring songs that extra little something. He owns no fast car and has a wardrobe of singularly uninspiring and drab leisurewear varying from light grey to black in color.
Brian "The Professor" Knitter
Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Vocals
Brian paid his way through college making music in venues small and large. He also did a stint as a recording engineer and studio musician. Brian loves playing everything from Bach to rock, but especially prog rock because it's loud yet sophisticated, just like him.
Bery "Testing" Rinaldo
Keyboard, Vocals
Bery played saxophone in school then moved to keyboard making music in garage bands with co-workers for years before hitting the stage. Bery enjoys listening to and playing a variety of musical genres. His delight in finding just the right sound is impeccable. He also does websites (thanks to free template design help from HTML5 UP)
PAST MEMBER
Mark "Jamin' Man" Roberts
