Unleashing a sonic whirlwind straight from the heart of New York City’s vibrant musical

landscape, Thundersmack is the brainchild of two extraordinary musicians, Michael Wilbur and

Leo P. Fusing the gritty energy of NYC subways with inimitable style, Thundersmack promises a

musical experience that is as infectious as it is unforgettable.

The Maestros

Leo P, the band’s Baritone Saxophone and Clarinet aficionado, is a showman to the core. His

captivating dance moves light up the stage, serving as a visual crescendo to his mind-bending

musical prowess. He is best known for his BBC Prom’s performance at Royal Albert Hall and his

band Too Many Zooz’s collaboration with Beyoncé at the CMAs. His videos have been viewed

millions of times throughout various platforms including YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Leo

brings a distinctive flair that turns any performance into an awe-inspiring spectacle.

Michael Wilbur is a multi-instrumentalist virtuoso, primarily on tenor and bass saxophones. Best

known as a founding member of the band Moon Hooch, Michael has amassed a viral following

on social media for his electrifying and unique spin on bass saxophone mixed with hiphop/trap

beats. He has toured the world and has been featured with Moon Hooch on NPR’s Tiny Desk

Concert as well as many other notable global publications such as BBC, Thrasher, The New

Yorker, The Guardian and more.

The Sound

Thundersmack delivers a sound that’s gritty yet fun, both energetic and motivating. With a repertoire designed to make you dance until you drop, the band injects each performance with a dose of high-octane musical adrenaline. Their synergy on stage is palpable, creating a live experience that’s nothing short of magnetic.

The Essence

Born from the underground spirit of Moon Hooch and Too Many Zooz, Thundersmack is a culmination of Michael and Leo’s unique talents and artistic visions. They both share an unquenchable thirst for the stage, and when they combine their musical gifts, the result is a distinctive blend of contagious rhythm, passionate artistry, and unparalleled entertainment. Whether you’re a first-time listener or a long-time fan, Thundersmack offers an intoxicating musical journey that is as inspiring as it is invigorating.
