Sunny Sweeney
Sunny Sweeney makes it look easy. She's just as comfortable commanding a stadium stage on tour with Bob Seger as she is pouring her heart out from a listening-room stool.
She is an outlier: A humble East Texas kid with super-star chops, singing her own songs made up of equal parts wit, soul, and hard truth. Four albums into a career that has earned praise from Rolling Stone, NPR, American Songwriter, and more, Sunny has drawn a loyal following. Having experienced the major label deal and, ultimately, embracing her independence - hers is smart country music that likes to have its rock and honky tonk too, and all the better for it.
In 2020, she released a live album Recorded Live At The Machine Shop Recording Studio, and is putting the finishing touches on a studio album slated for release in Fall 2022.
