Music would appear to be embedded into Thundercat’s DNA. His father, Ronald Bruner, Sr., is an internationally renowned jazz drummer who played with the Temptations, Diana Ross and Gladys Knight. His brother Ronald Bruner, Jr is also a Grammy-winning drummer. Thundercat has truly come into his own, though, taking his jazz roots and working with a mix of artists that suit his wildly experimental sensibilities – ranging from Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu and Earl Sweatshirt.

Check out one of his collaborations with Flying Lotus here:

His most recent album Drunk is a 23-track epic journey into the often hilarious, sometimes dark mind of the Grammy-winning singer/bassist with plenty of features from a who’s who of musical pioneers including Pharrell Williams and Kamasi Washington. Thundercat will be sure to put an a delectable feast for the ears and eyes at this gig.
