The Thunderballs are a roots reggae band led by one of Jamaica’s finest singer-songwriters, NL Dennis. Dennis has been a celebrated performer in the Jamaican music scene for decades, providing sweet vocal harmony to famous artists like Toots Hibbert and Desmond Dekker. Keyboardist and composer, Peter Eisenkramer, followed his ears and met Dennis singing in a cafe in Negril during the 1990s. Since that time, the pair have been performing around Jamaica and the US, having released several albums with a variety of great Jamaican and American musicians.

Having written the cult classic singles for the original Thunderballs backed by Glady’s Allstars in the 1970s like ‘Help I Jah’, ‘Spelling Reggay‘ and ‘My Twenty Eight‘ Dennis is a reggae connoisseur’s delight and hearing him sing brings the listener back to the golden age of reggae roots. Audiences often sing along with Dennis’ catchy songs the very first time they hear it. Dennis is a smiling, singing embodiment of simple, soulful reggae music.
