Thunder Nation by Thunder Nation
We are Thunder Nation! Its members hail from parts of Ohio areas and Pittsburgh originated in 2001 with close family and friends. We thank our past and current singers for keeping this drum and our songs alive. We have evolved tremendously within our group; slowly Thunder Nation grows with the arrival of our descendants. Today our goal is to show our children and the world what we like to do, so that it continues in the generations to come. It is our duty to demonstrate perseverance (or to be an example of perseverance).
We are very thankful for this and strive to do our very best each time we sing, traveling throughout the United States. It is our goal each time we sing to make people feel good, make them tap their feet as they sit around the arena; make 'em dance. Thunder Nation is about our families especially our little ones, our elders, and our friends. We would like to share with you our songs. Please accept our most heartfelt greetings.
