Thunder and Rain is an Americana band hailing from Golden, Colorado, renowned for their unique blend of mountain-made Colorado country and an acoustic-driven, harmony-rich folk sound. The band was formed in 2011 by singer/songwriter and acoustic guitarist Erinn Peet-Lukes alongside mandolinist Pete Weber, and they were later joined by bassist Ian Haegele and dobro player Chris Herbst. Thunder and Rain's music is often characterized by its storytelling lyrics and heartfelt melodies, weaving together tales of love, loss, and life's winding journey.

Over the years, Thunder and Rain have built a robust discography that showcases their evolution as artists and their commitment to authentic musicianship. Their songs, such as "Wine and Weed and You" and "Start Believing," resonate with personal reflection and a deep connection to the trials and triumphs of human experience. With a reputation for compelling live performances, the band has created a dedicated following both locally and internationally. Their rendition of the classic "Sweet Child o' Mine" is an example of how they can infuse a well-known rock anthem with their signature folk-country flair, further diversifying their appeal. Whether it’s the introspective lyrics of "Two Ships" or the driving melodies of "Cut the Wire," Thunder and Rain continue to enchant audiences with their dynamic and soul-stirring music.
