CEDAR RIVER — Thunderwude will be coming to Cedar River BridgeWalk celebration on Labor Day to play the genres of bluegrass, acoustic, roots and Americana.

Born out of a need for Bluegrass in the Chelsea, MI area, Thunderwüde became a band in the winter of 2014 and consists of Jason Dennie, Wesley Fritzemeier, and Tommy Reifel. Thunderwüde started out primarily as a traditional bluegrass quartet with guitar, mandolin, fiddle and upright bass. Thunderwüde has since evolved into a tight-nit trio that can bounce between intricate original compositions, bluegrass standards, and current billboard hits within the flick of a fiddle bow. With decades of collective touring behind them, Thunderwüde’s live show is one that charms human emotions with impeccable songwriting, affectional melodies and vocal harmonies, while further satisfying the intellect with seasoned instrumental chops and musical improvisation.

Thunderwüde members have shared the bill with many notable artists including Arlo Guthrie, Keb Mo, Sam Bush, David Wilcox, LeAnn Rimes, The Raconteurs, Sheryl Crowe, and Taj Mahal, to name a few. Additionally, they have played such notable folk venues as The Ark, The Bluebird Cafe, Canal Street Tavern, World Cafe Live, The Bijou Theater, Big Top Chautauqua, and The Birchmere. They also cook some mean mac and cheese.

The Cedar River BridgeWalk will begin at the Cedarville Township Hall with live music at 10 a.m. CDT, on Old Mill Lane across from the marina. The walk will follow royalty coronation at 11 a.m. A festival will be awaiting at the end of the BridgeWalk with music by Joey and Josh, and Crooked Creek opening for Thunderwude. Also at the celebrations will be food and beverages, raffles, kids bounce house, various vendors, and a live auction.
