Kim Wilson is best known as a founding member of the influential American roots band The
Fabulous Thunderbirds, a group he continues to lead for b oth recording and touring. Wilson's trademark vocals helped The Fabulous Thunderbirds garner a Grammy nomination and such groundbreaking hits as "Tuff Enough" and "Wrap It Up."
Kim Wilson first came to national prominence in the late '70s when he and his band, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, came roaring out of Austin
, Texas to inspire a whole generation of roots oriented musicians. His authoritative singing and peerless instrumental virtuosity not only enthrall the crowds that flock to his performances, but
also have set a standard, which continues to inspire and challenge musicians around the world.
Born in Detroit in 1951, he grew up in California and fell under the sway of the blues in the late
60s, honing his chops under the tutelage of people like George Smith, Luther Tucker and Peewee Crayton. After a brief time leading a band of his own around the Minneapolis area, he
moved to Austin, Texas in 1974 and formed The Fabulous Thunderbirds with guitarist Jimmy Vaughan. While ensconced as the house band at Clifford Antone's famous Austin blues club,
they played with virtually all the stars in the blues firmament - Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Eddy Taylor, Big Walter Horton, Buddy Guy and many others, and the word soon spread that
there was a band down in Austin that was laying down some of the toughest blues ever heard. Muddy Waters, himself, called Kim, "The greatest harmonica player to come along since Little
Walter." As their reputation spread, they began to record and tour around the country to ever increasing crowds. They continue to this day despite a number of personnel changes over the
years. The one constant has been the dynamic presence of Kim Wilson out front.
In the last few years, Kim began establishing a dual track for his career: one that would allow him
to showcase his skills in a more purely traditional blues setting and give him an opportunity to stretch out instrumentally.
Aside from his own projects, he is in much demand as a contributor to the music of others and he has lent his sound to the recordings of artists like Bonnie Raitt, Paul Simon, Carlos Santana
and many others. His own songs have been part of the soundtracks for major motion pictures as well as several national commercials and he has garnered Grammy nominations for both his
worldwide R&B hit, "Tuff Enuff," and his instrumental tour de force, "Down at Antone's."
