It is the darkness that makes the sun so impressive. The light that invites you to dwell in the shade. This tug of war between day and night, good and evil, light and dark is what makes emerging independent act Autumn Sun so very intriguing. Fusing sophisticated folk grooves with soul tipped intelligent pop, Autumn Sun's music manages to be mature yet inquisitive and bold whilst vulnerable. From their quiet beginnings as a Sunny Coast beach dwelling duo to their current state as a Brisbane based four pieced band, Autumn Sun's constant state of evolution has made them an exciting act to watch. Since forming in late 2006, Autumn Sun have gone on to capture the hearts and ears of audiences with their intimate and energetic brand of live show. And with the recent release of their second e.p 'Gritty Love' and a national tour under their belts, there is no better time to take a step into the Autumn Sun.
