Lightning Threads

Lightning Threads – Tom Jane (Vocals/Guitar), Sam Burgam (Vocals/Bass) and Hugh Butler (Drum/Keys) – are a Blues-Rock power trio hailing from Sheffield, influenced by the great rock musicians of another time. Often compared to The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr. Cream & The Doors, creating a sound full of face-melting guitars, groove-ridden basslines with a fresh and uniquely energetic electric blues. Since forming 2019, the band have headlined legendary venues such as The Leadmill and The Greystones, Sheffield, as well as making unforgettable festival appearances in front of thousands at Witney Music Festival (supporting Bez, Happy Mondays), Bunkerfest (supporting Beans on Toast) and DN One Live (supporting Sandi Thom), along with sharing stages with the likes of Chantel McGregor, Darnell Cole, Tom Killner, The Fargo Railroad Co., Emelia Quinn, The Daybreakers, and William the Conqueror at some of the UK’s best venues!
