MONTICELLO, NY (May 9, 2015) – The 2015 edition of ThunderBash, another successful event at Monticello Casino and Raceway, brought the  house down last week with tons of entertainment for concertgoers.

Now in its 10th year, ThunderBash, presented by the Bold Gold Media Group Thunder 102 radio, the Sullivan County Catskills, Monticello Casino & Raceway, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, Crystal Run Healthcare and M&M Auto Group, brings top-notch local and national country acts to Sullivan County.

Admission is always free, and this year attendees were asked to bring a non-perishable food item to the event to fill a truck donated by Suburban Propane for the evening.

ThunderBash sponsors included the Delaware County Fair, Glick GMC Hyundai, Animal Hospital of Sullivan County, Nicks and Chips Mobile Detailing, Sullivan County BOCES, Forestburgh Playhouse, Roto Rooter, Blue Flame Propane, Center for Workforce Development, Catskill Regional Medical Center, the Wayne County Fair, Monticello Motor Club, Hudson Valley Building & Trades Council, Achieve Rehab and Nursing Facility, NBDC Bank, the United States Marine Corp and CD Trips, LLC.

The show started with The Shots and the Bergen County Firefighters Pipe Band. Forestburgh Playhouse Producer Franklin Trapp sang the National Anthem, and entertainment was provided by local favorites Sommerville, in addition to national performers David Adam Byrnes, Cooper Boone, Emily Kinney and country music superstar Eric Paslay.

Regional stars Iron Cowboy closed out the night in the Lava Lounge for new this year, AfterBash.
