The Sons of Thunder Quartet originated in Clemmons, North Carolina, in 1993. The quartet was made up of men who sang regularly in the choir at their home church, Clemmons United Methodist. In these early days, the group at various times included Todd Carter, Rhett McAllister and Sam Dotson, along with charter members Paul Davis and Rob Bowers, who still sing with the Sons of Thunder today. Initially, the quartet’s appearances were limited to providing special music from time to time during morning worship or at special church events.

Originally, the group was conceived as a four-part men's a cappella group. The musical skills and training of the individuals involved enabled the quartet to grow a sizeable repertoire, free from the constraints of sound equipment and tracks, or the added difficulty of finding an accompanist and a piano. The result was a rich harmonic blend which quickly became a favorite around the Clemmons community. At first the ensemble was known simply as the " the men's quartet', even on occasions when it sported five members. But as their repertoire and their reputation; grew, it was clear the foursome would require some more inventive moniker. 

Early on, the group called itself The Journeymen; however, in addition to the fact that the name was already taken, it seemed not quite right for the personalities, ministry and calling of this particular brotherhood of gospel entertainers. By 1998, the group had finally adopted the name, The Sons of Thunder Quartet. As many readers will appreciate, the name is actually a biblical reference to two of Jesus'; disciples. According to Mark 3:17, were told that when James and John, the sons of Zebedee, became Jesus' disciples, to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder.
