Nikki D and the Sisters of Thunder

“Nikki D & the Sisters of Thunder! They are a joy to watch perform, and we were lucky enough to have them in our new documentary, BLUES ON BEALE. Shot at the 2020 International Blues Challenge, BLUES ON BEALE profiles big ambitions, bigger hearts and fantastic blues music! ”

“Gospel was also a powerful presence at Black & Loud. I was curious to see how a band like Nikki D and the Sisters of Thunder would be received by the godless heathens of Belltown, and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s hard to deny the group’s sheer talent and power. Nikki D has the cadence of a preacher and the bravado of James Brown. Watching this Black woman shred on steel guitar felt like being back in church. Many of our talented rock musicians, like Jimi Hendrix, got their start in church, where the connection between the spiritual, transcendent power of rock and gospel music is clear. The crowd loved it, dancing and singing along. The Holy Ghost was in that room! ”
