Formed in 2005 by childhood friends Hunter Perrin and Paul Beebe, Thunderado is a rock and roll trio with a sound inspired by the Gulf Coast and the California desert.  Hunter comes from a musical family and grew up listening to outlaw country and vinyl-era ZZ Top while attending conservatory for classical guitar.   His style and versatility have earned him a place in John Fogerty's current band.  Also from a musical family, Paul is the consummate working musician: playing bass, drums, and singing in numerous bands all over Texas, and recording other regional musicians.

Although the boys come from different musical backgrounds, they discovered a common love of juke joint rock and noir mystery.  Their sound is well-traveled and evocative, combining influences of western swing, rockabilly, surf, and Tex-Czech dancehall to create Thunderado's own brand of desert rock.
