Ooooh were we intrigued by Thunderstorm Artis…and yes, that is his real name. Based in O’ahu, Hawaii, Artis brought his soulful and uplifting folk rock to the PNW; came out absolutely rocking, covering Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” and adding some passion to the folk-rock , with resounding voice, electric guitars and a stage presence that kept the crowd captivated for the entirety of his short set.
