(SOLD OUT) Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026 | 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. | Sunny War
Sunny War is an American singer and songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. Her music delivers a vibrant mix of punk and roots, drawing on various genres including rock, gospel, and country.
Michael Simmons from L.A. Weekly writes, "...her right thumb plunks the bass part while her forefinger upstrokes notes and chords, leaving the other three fingers unused. A banjo technique, it’s also used by acoustic blues guitarists. Her fingers are long and strong – Robert Johnson hands – in jarring contrast to the waif they’re attached to. The walking bass line sounds like a hammer striking piano keys in perfect meter, while the fills are dynamic flurries – like cluster bombs. I haven’t heard a young guitarist this dexterous and ass-kicking in eons.”
Boarding will start at 4 p.m.
