SONNY & THE SUNSETS are a beautiful west coast thing. Birthed from the sand, the surf, and twilight campfires down in Ocean Beach, Sonny & the Sunset’s busted beach-pop songs spark recollections of doo-wop's otherworldly despair, a dose of goofball humour from the Michael Hurley school, and positive possibilities exuded by Jonathan Richman. Helmed by the singer/songwriter, playwright, author and onetime troubadour Sonny Smith, The Sunsets have featured a revolving door line-up over the years, and for the 2018 Australian visit will include Sunsets regular Tahlia Harbour as well as esteemed locals Shaun Gionis (Boomgates) and Mark Monnone (The Lucksmiths, Monnone Alone).

Also appearing singer-song-writer, Petre Out of The Careerists.
