90 minutes of riffs, groove and one unmistakable catalogue.
Thunderbird brings the music, look and attitude of ZZ Top to the stage in a dedicated 90-minute concert.
Performed by experienced Maritime musicians Chris Colepaugh, Darrell Chapman and Pat Browne, the show focuses on the songs audiences know immediately:
La Grange · Tush · Sharp Dressed Man · Cheap Sunglasses · Legs · Gimme All Your Lovin’ · and more.
Thunderbird also embraces the visual personality of ZZ Top, giving presenters a show that looks intentional from the moment the band walks onstage.
It never becomes parody.
This is a rock concert first.
