Formed in 2001 and based in Rockland, we currently have 17 members representing 8 different towns from Waldoboro to Belfast. We play many gigs each year at private parties and public events. You may have heard us at the Lobster Festival where our director, Mike Miller, is right at home in his annual role as King Neptune. Or you may have tapped your toes to our eclectic repertoire at the Maine Boats, Homes, and Harbors Show on Rockland’s waterfront or at Belfast’s New Year’s By The Bay. You may even have heard us playing our pans in front of Brick’s Restaurant on Main Street in Rockland. Steelin’ Thunder is a non-profit group. With proceeds received from our performances we award scholarships to mid-coast area high school graduates who are furthering their education in the field of music.
