The Sundowners are a Southern California Band, born and bred. With a heavy psychedelic, spiritual blues sound. This is not a contrived sound for the masses, it's 100% organic and is designed to open the mind. There are a lot of acts out there, yes, but only a few bands. What this means is three guys and a lady who play together and off of each other. Now I know this sounds sexual, but, well...I guess it sort of is. This kind of heavy love is hard to mistake! With their debut double album, "Songs from the Big Green Bubble"
The Sundowners have single-handedly produced something both familiar and unique.
When you see this band live, you will hear improvisations to the likes of your favorite psychdelic, jazz, blues fusion groups. They don't cater to any particular audience, just those interested in good rock and roll from every era. This form of music is still in it's infancy, and The Sundowners understand that there is still so much more room to explore!
Our first full-length, self-produced double album "Songs From The Big Green Bubble" is now available at CDBaby!!!
THE SUNDOWNERS play Claremont's Friday Nights Live this week, August 7th! 609 pm. At the Chamber of Commerce Office on Yale Avenue, north of Starbucks, south of Rhino Records. FREE and FUN!

Yo, we met you guys quite a while ago up at The Loft in Highland Park-5029 York. We took over that studio and wanted to reconnect with you. I just booked a show at The Dakota Music Lounge in Santa Monica for Thurs June 4th and was wondering if you wanted to be on the bill. They gave us the whole night to plan, so I wanted to hit ya up and see. If you're available, please let me know ASAP and we can get this thing a goin' on. We also still do shows every month at our studio, and I want to get you back in there! Talk soon -kyle
