Meet the Band
Thunder Road was formed in 1997, when Bill Shapiro called on several top musicians to form a high harmony, high energy vocal group. Bill's roots are as a rock lead guitarist. His interest in pedal steel landed him in country music. He also plays slide guitar, acoustic guitar, MeloBar lap steel, banjo and Dobro. He sings lead and backup vocals.
Michael Austin's rich and distinctive voice is the centerpiece of Thunder Road, wrapped with backup harmonies. Michael's signature vocals are equaled only by his showmanship and stage presence which makes a TR show a real experience. Thunder Road's tribute cover songs are mastered by Michael's ability to duplicate voice and inflections.
"The great thing about country music is that I get to play my guitar and sing", says Billy Roberts, who started playing country music when he was a kid. Billy plays lead guitar, sings lead and backup vocals. He is also a songwriter.
Paul Burkhart has a well rounded musical education and plays several instruments, but prefers the drums. He loves to sing and enjoys arranging the rich backup harmonies to round out the signature Thunder Road sound. Paul is also a talented songwriter and lyricist.
Luke James was a hard/metal rocker from Memphis, TN who went west to California where his musical interest spilled over into country music, and country is where he stays. Luke plays bass guitar and provides backup vocals.
