Fabulous Thunderbirds to play June 21

The Disabled Persons Action Organization has announced a fourth concert, which completes its Summer Concert Series.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds will perform at 2 p.m. June 21 at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds Arena, Coffeen Street. The group is known for such hits as "Tuff Enuff" and "Wrap It Up."

The band's co-founder, Kim Wilson, is the sole original member in the group. It started as a straight blues band, but has since incorporated a variety of different musical styles.

In 1979, The Fabulous Thunderbirds released its first self-titled album. It was primarily blues influenced and became a cult classic. The band has recorded more than 20 albums.

Opening for the Fabulous Thunderbirds will be the Syracuse-based band Double Barrel Blues Band, a four-member blues-rock group. The band's new CD, "Bad Bad Feeling" is getting international blues radio play in Macedonia, Argentina, Norway and France.
