Biography

Terry Wisbey’s TEXAS THUNDER are one of the hottest bands currently playing the UK live music circuit. They are a dynamic power trio recently described by America’s top selling Blues Revue magazine as ‘England’s masters of Lone Star sounds’. They draw heavily on the influences of contemporary blues artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Larry Garner and the Fabulous Thunderbirds but also the legacy of legendary blues icons like Freddie, Albert & BB King, Howling Wolf and Junior Wells. During the 12 years that the band has been on the road, and with over 800 gigs under their belts, they have built a formidable reputation for their energetic live performances and great music. Their live performances which are a scorching blend of great covers and original songs. The band have recorded two albums, ‘Lonesome Highway’ released in 1997 and ‘Bolt from the Blues’ released in May 2003. Both received excellent reviews, particularly in the USA, the home of the blues. (See 'Reviews' page for album and gig reviews).

The line-up consists of band leader Terry Wisbey who handles vocals and guitar. Terry was a late starter in music having only taken up the guitar at age 40. However, inspired by the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan, he has been making up for lost time, and since his pro debut in 1997, has played continuously across the UK and Ireland where his guitar playing has won him consistently high acclaim. Daniel Molina on drums has been with the band since relocating to the UK at the end of 2007, from San Antonio, Texas. Daniel has played in many bands and has also spent some time playing on cruise ships where he was most recently musical director. He is an accomplished drummer with a great feel for the music – well he is from Texas! Sasha Titov on bass is from St. Petersburg, Russia where he was a key player in the Russian cultural underground in the 80s. As well as being a key member of the band ‘Aquarium’, he was also a member of 'Kino'; these two bands won an enormous popular following despite being blacklisted in communist Russia. Sasha has been living in London since 1996, and has been involved in numerous international musical projects, including playing on the David Letterman show in New York. Recently he was reunited with singer, composer and poet Boris 'Purushottama' Grebenshikov and Aquarium for a one-off sell-out concert at the Royal Albert Hall.
