Known for stellar musicianship and dynamic live shows, the band’s sound is vibrant, powerful and extremely danceable. They have performed at various festivals, including Ollin Kan (Mexico City), Philadelphia Folk Festival, Golden Fest (NYC), and various versions of the Honk! festival and collaborated with artists and ensembles as varied as RJD2, Dr. Dog, Martha Graham Cracker, Johnny Showcase and the Trisha Brown Dance Company.<h2>Dr. Thunder</h2>"At some point in the evening at Dr. Thunder’s karaoke events, the following three things will probably happen: Dr. Thunder will strip down to a cape and shiny shorti-shorts with DR. THUNDER emblazoned across the butt in bright green letters; someone will sing Journey; and you will put on some ridiculous outfit and wig from his huge crate of costumes." ---Philadelphia Magazine (Best of Philly) 8 PM till 2 AM 2026!Get your tickets now!Tickets $30 in advance. $35 at the door.21+ Black Squirrel Club has a full bar.
