About The AC Thundertones

 
Portrait of The AC Thundertones
Our Band Logo
First of all I have two bands here. One is The AC Thundertones comprised of my brother John Zarvis and myself. The other is called Chenaniah where I've uploaded my Christian music.

More importantly, The AC Thundertones are myself and my BROTHER John Zarvis. It is our project band where we co-write, produce, record and do everything together. So if you're looking for Blues Rock just click on the pictures on my player until you see the AC Thundertones.

If you want Contemporary Christian music then Chenaniah is the band name to look for on the player. This should clear up some confusion.

Now on to my profile. My name is Paul Zarvis. Me and my brother John Zarvis decided a few years ago to try a concept band that would play music, advertise, promote etc., on the INTERNET ONLY. That project was the Blues Rock band called: The AC Thundertones.

Since then we have had over 14,000 downloads of our songs. The most popular was the Blues Rock tune: MISSIN YOU which won every major award on garageband.com including the best of "all time" in production (I think) It's been a while.

Our runner up tune YOU AINT THE SAME GIRL NO MORE also went to the top of garageband charts in Blues Rock and This time I won Best Keyboards of "all time".

Both tunes got the track of the day and the track of the week awards etc. This kind of reception repeated itself on NumberOneMusic.com and Artistopia.com as well as a ton of other sites.

My brother Johnny received TONS of "Best of" and "Best ALL TIME" Guitar awards on many sites. We also were invited to upload our tunes to XM Radio (Midnight Blues I think is the station name) and also on SIRIUS Satellite radio's Blues channel.

The "BAND" consists of myself Paul Zarvis AKA Paulie Fingers (Keyboards) and my brother John Zarvis AKA Johnny Z (Guitars).

We wrote, arranged, recorded, mixed, mastered and played all instruments on all of our songs. Johnny has the raspy voice on MISSIN YOU. CALL ON ME etc., and he has that Bluesy voice that helps define our style and sound.

I sing YOU AINT THE SAME GIRL NO MORE and ALL THE PRETTY GUNS. Anyhow, our BETA test to see how far we could get on the "internet ONLY" produced a HUGE response where we've gotten over 431 registered "fans", a whole bunch of mailing list subscribers and people downloading our music like crazy. Our tunes were (and are) being downloaded on over 37 Indie sites in the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Belgium, Poland, Luxembourg and Italy. So we feel blessed that our BETA test has done so well.

Oh yeah! To check us out in other sites, Just type into GOOGLE: The AC Thundertones and watch what happens. This is self promo and recording our tunes in our own home studios. Johnny and I want to welcome you to our band: The AC Thundertones and the AC Thundertones welcomes OURSTAGE and thanks everyone here for letting us put our music out there to "Let the fans decide!"

John Zarvis' Guitar Playing on This Month's Blues Entry: CALL ON ME

Posted by The AC Thundertones on Sep 11 at 9:24 AM EDT • remove

A big THANK YOU to all here at OURSTAGE who’ve been voting for CALL ON ME By The AC Thundertones.

As I said before ALL the songs we’ve entered this month are my brother Johnny Zeee ALL the way. He wrote em, played all the instruments, sang ‘em and recorded and mastered them.

Though Johnny’s guitar playing style varies and his genres are all over the place as well, (me too), there is one common thread that runs through EVERY work that John Zarvis plays. That thread is: PASSION. Johnny plays everything as if it were his favorite song, and his passion is evident in...
