About Thunderclap!
Niagara Falls performance artist THUNDERCLAP! uses honesty and humility to develop an almost magical rapport with “every” audience he performs for. Performing all over North America & Western Europe, he’s shared the bill with acts like Hotel Mira, The Trews, The, Plastic People of the Universe, Jesse Roper, Mary Margaret O’Hara, & Tony Robbins, to name a few…
A live THUNDERCLAP! show harkens back to the traditional arch of story telling. The highly memorable originals are randomly sprinkled with a few choice covers, spoken word pieces, stories and improvisational banter with the audience. His days training as a practicing method actor in film & stage has no doubt led to what’s now an arguably “brave” spectacle that generally leaves the audience scratching their heads in all the right ways.
Due to his recent LP Strange Songs For Strange Times featuring acclaimed ‘Coast to Coast AM’ radio host George Noory, as well as the empathetic holiday tear jerker “Blank Slate”, THUNDERCLAP! has been played on over 75+ radio stations across North America & the UK through 2023/2024. Aside from continually cultivating his online presence, Mr. Clap is currently looking forward to entertaining future audiences with his constantly evolving presentations.
ABOUT THE SONG: “Forced To Walking” – release date: March 7th
“The song came about one winter years ago when I was walking around in the back parking lot of a mall in Niagara Falls, Ontario. I was feeling lonely & thinking about my life. The cloudy melancholy sunset was coloured in very peculiar hues of browns, bronzes, and greys (as mentioned in the song). Right there & then I was compelled enough to scribble down the moment… hours later I found myself walking around on some back roads further contemplating what these feelings were all about… walking and thinking, thinking and walking.
It was only a month after I wrote the song where I assembled the proper musicians and studio engineer to record in my personal workshop on Queen Street in Niagara Falls. It all came together pretty quickly, and it was the first time I worked with a standup bass player, violinist and even a French horn player that I recently met during that time while she was working in a local Shoppers Drug Mart.”
