blues-rock @ temperance | Lightning Threads

We are delighted to welcome another top blues-rock band to play our basement bar! Lightning Threads are an electrifying power trio, thundering out of Sheffield’s legendary blues rock scene, and influenced by the great rock musicians of another time. Often compared to The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr, Cream and the Doors. Since forming in 2019, they’ve had HEADLINE shows at Sheffield’s legendary The Leadmill and The Greystones, as well as unforgettable festival appearances to thousands at Witney Music Festival (supporting Bez, Happy Mondays); Bunkerfest (supporting Beans on Toast); and DN One Live (supporting Sandi Thom). Lightning Threads have also shared stages with the likes of Chantal McGregor, Darnell Cole, McHale’s Permanent Brew, Tom Killner, The Fargo Railroad Co., Emilia Quinn, The Daybreakers, and William the Conquerer at some of the UKs biggest venues. Featuring face-melting guitars, groove-ridden bass, and a multi-talented drummer who plays tubs and keys at the same time; audiences can’t get enough of our fresh and uniquely energetic electric blues rock, slipping in references to crowd pleasing classics such as The Chain and Light my Fire. In Sep 2023, we released our debut album ‘Off the Lonely Road’ (vinyl/streaming) and our music is regularly featured on BBC radio. In 2021, our single ‘Take a Mile’ went to No1 on the iTunes blues chart on release.
