AC/DC Tribute Band

America’s AC/DC tribute gives fans so much more than the sound of AC/DC – they truly capture the high-voltage energy and experience. For fans, it’s about a sense of familiarity, and a feeling that snatches up listeners and takes over. It’s about a contagious kind of power and electricity that few AC/DC tribute bands can provide! From Tyler Melen’s ridiculously non-stop on-stage performance replicating the Angus Young of the ‘70s and ‘80s, to Bobby Lee Stamper’s versatile vocals mimicking both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson ranges, to the incredible rhythm section made up of Kevin Feller on rhythm guitar, Corey Baetz on drums, and Chris Jones on bass, Thunderstruck gives a complete and consistently authentic live show as true to the spirit of AC/DC as you can possibly get!
