33 Thunder brings their high-energy modern country sound to Gilley's Saloon at Treasure Island. Led by lead singing bassist Pete Violas, this seasoned group of musicians delivers powerful performances inspired by classic country icons and heartland roots. Pete's upbringing in the small town of Canandaigua in Upstate New York, along with influences from Johnny, Glenn, Elvis and Willie, shapes the band's authentic country sound.
Known as one of the hardest working modern country bands on the Southern California circuit, 33 Thunder offers a perfect complement to Gilley's wild west atmosphere. Their shows blend traditional country roots with contemporary energy, creating the ideal soundtrack for boot-scootin' across the dance floor or enjoying drinks at the bar. Pete's personal experience surviving the Route 91 Tragedy adds depth and emotional resonance to their performances, making them more than just your typical country act.
