Sunny War (Venice Beach, CA)
It’s no secret that great art comes from the margins. From those who are either pushed to create from inner forces, or who create to show they deserve to be recognized. Los Angeles-based street singer, guitarist, and roots music revolutionary Sunny War has always been an outsider, always felt the drive to define her place in the world through music and songwriting. Her restless spirit, a byproduct of growing up semi-nomadic with a single mother, led her to Venice Beach, California, where she’s been grinding the pavement for some years now, making a name for her prodigious guitar work and incisive songwriting, which touches on everything from police violence to alcoholism to love found and lost. Her new single No Reason has garnered nearly a million plays in a few short months and is featured on Sirus Radio. This song has vaulted her into one of music’s best up and coming artists of the year and has found her on numerous late night and early morning national television broadcasts.
