LIGHTNING THREADSSuperb young blues band from Sheffield with a new album about to drop! Forged in Sheffield, Lightning Threads carve a path of their own into groove-ridden territories. 
Renowned for their electrifying performances and gritty sound, the band deliver raw, powerful riffs with searing solos echoing the spirit of classic rock legends of another time. With a reputation for turning every venue into a happening, Lightning Threads bring an infectious energy that captivates audiences from the first note to the last. 
Their sound is immersed with emotion, intensity, and rock ‘n’ roll attitude, making them one of the most exciting acts on the UK’s independent music scene.Established in 2019, Lightning Threads are: Tom Jane, roaring and tearing the house of blues guitar; Sam Burgum, walking those filthy bass notes; Hugh ‘Doggy Dog’ Butler, rockin’ and wailing those drums and keys.
The band have earned acclaim and recognition, including airplay on Cerys Matthews' BBC 6Music show and Joe Bonamassa’s ‘Keeping The Blues Alive’ Spotify playlist. In 2024, their debut record was also nominated for UK Blues Fed ‘album of the year’. They regularly circuit through renowned venues across the UK, including The 100 Club, Half Moon Putney, The Leadmill, The Cluny, The Bullingdon, and The Greystones, alongside festival appearances at Bluesbury, Whitby Blues, UK Blues Festival (Blackpool), Great British R&B Festival (Colne), and CAMRA National Beer Festivals.
Threads have shared stages with esteemed acts such as; DeWolff, Fantastic Negrito, Zac Schulze Gang, Brave Rival, Chantel McGregor, James Oliver Band, Connor Selby, Hitman Blues Band, Amba Tremain, Darnell Cole, Fargo Railroad Co., and William The Conqueror. Their journey continues as they cement their place as one of the most exciting live acts on the circuit.
