The Sunny Era

About Me

mySpace Band Shows Code tutorials by Eileen
Inspired both by indie rock and music from around the world, The Sunny Era has entertained an exciting development on their second CD, This Darkness of Love. The three-piece ensemble embraces fluid instrumentation and works collectively to create a kaleidoscopic sound. Melding electric and acoustic-electric guitars with auxiliary percussion and ethnic melodic sonorities, they bring you from modern day rock to old world gypsy street music. They have found an exhilarating energy behind their more worldly new sound and hope you will enjoy the experience!
