The Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts will host Folk, Soul, and Pop artist Thunderstorm Artis at the Turner Center Art Park, 605 North Patterson St., on Fri., April 24, 2026, 7PM. The concert is the sixth of eight (8) free, live performances in the 2026 Levitt AMP Valdosta Music Series, sponsored by the Levitt Family Foundation, The Price-Campbell Foundation, and supported by WALB News 10, Lamar Advertising, and the Valdosta Daily Times.
Thunderstorm Artis is a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist known for his heartfelt lyrics, soulful voice, and powerful storytelling. Born into a musical family on the North Shore of Oahu, Thunderstorm grew up surrounded by creativity, which shaped his unique blend of folk, pop, soul, and gospel.
He rose to national prominence as a finalist on The Voice and later captured the hearts of millions as a Top 5 finalist on American Idol. Since then, he’s been on a mission to create music that heals, connects, and uplifts — a message woven through every note he sings.
With a growing fanbase, over 120,000 Instagram followers, and performances across the U.S. and abroad, Thunderstorm’s music speaks to anyone longing for something real. His newest single, “I Just Want You to Know,” is a tender, soul-stirring reminder of what matters most in life and love.
Whether he’s performing on national TV or at a cozy house concert, Thunderstorm invites listeners into a space of honesty, vulnerability, and hope.
The public is invited to bring blankets and lawn chairs to the concert. The on-site food/beverage vendor is Jessie’s Restaurant & Catering. The opening act is the VHS Drama/Chorus and the community partner for this show is The Red Cross. Admission is free.
