It's just me, playing music and talking shit.

Sound of the Sun is the brainchild of Seah Maister, Jenna Earle, and Karli MacIntosh.

Originating in Nelson, BC, a hotbed of music and creativity, Sound of the Sun started as a three piece comprised of Maister, Earle, and MacIntosh. After a relocation to Vancouver, Sound of the Sun began to build what has become their signature sound.

Citing varied influences such as Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Queens of the Stone Age, Fleet Foxes, Opeth, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin, Sound of the Sun draws upon the essence of music from decades past. Their harmony heavy compositions strike a unique balance of soft and heavy, darkness and light. 

~Born in the hour between waking and dreaming, the soundtrack to a lucid dream.~

Sammy Brue embodies the kind of wisdom, talent and natural empathy that are often signs of age and maturity, and yet at 15 years old, he can place himself in the shoes of others, real or fictionalized, and write stories about them. 

The Ogden, UT based songwriter has been writing songs since the age of 10. He signed to New West Records at 14 and now, with his debut album in hand, Sammy takes the next step forward. The forthcoming album, titled I Am Nice, produced by Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes) and John Paul White (former Civil Wars) will be released early summer of 2017. Recorded in Florence, Al, they created a brilliant album with nuanced dimension that provides emotional resonance to Brue's songs which Rolling Stone described as “a collection of devastatingly beautiful songs that touch on heartbreak, jealousy, God and Suicide;” and further declared Brue as “An Americana prodigy."

Though Sammy may appear quiet and unassuming, his songs speak volumes. From busking at Sundance at the age of 10, to opening for Justin Townes Earle, John Paul White, Lucinda Williams and John Moreland to mention a few, and performing at Summerfest, and the Newport Folk Festival, you will be hearing a lot about Sammy Brue as he stands on the precipice of what appears to be a long and ever-evolving creative journey.
