THUNDERCREEK HAS BEEN BLESSED BY THE LORD WITH A COMBINED MUSICAL TALENT OF OVER 250 YEARS BETWEEN BAND MEMBERS. ONE OF THE GREATEST ASSETS OF THE GROUP IS THAT SIX OF THE SEVEN BAND MEMBERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO SING MULTIPLE VOCAL PARTS. THIS VARIETY IN VOICES BRINGS ABOUT A BARBER SHOP STYLE BLEND THAT IS PLEASING TO THE EAR. SOME OF THE BAND MEMBERS HAVE WRITTEN SONGS WHICH IS ON THEIR FIRST CD ALBUM CALLED ROARING RUN.
