Since coming together in Boston in 2002, Sun5 has been turning heads and ears, while making hips shake in the New England area, with their own eclectic blend of good vibes and infectious, soulful, grooving roots-rock, they like to call 'New Roots".
Their sound embraces their collective genre bending influences, and adds a little funk energy, to evocative lyricism and solid, old-school songwriting. They combine the rock energy of Lenny Kravitz, the blues influence of Stevie Ray Vaughn's Double Trouble, the soul of Terrence Trent D'arby, and blend it with a southwestern rootsy-rock and country flavor making a sound that is all their own.
They have honed in their dynamic live show at Boston's biggest venues including the Paradise Rock Club, the Avalon Ballroom, Harper's Ferry and the former House of Blues in Cambridge.
Their second studio release, "New Roots", is just a sample of the palette of sounds and musical flavors that Sun5 has collected and marinated over the last five years, and uses at their disposal to paint their own sonic landscape. Sun5 breaks down genre boundaries, no doubt, but the prime, sonic elements are always there: Rootsy rock, blues, Latin, funk and soul.
