Florida-born songstress, Sunnie Rae makes her new home in the heart of Appalachia. Sunnyside Stringband is an up-and-coming collaboration of top notch pickers born out of the musical community in Asheville, NC. Bringing life to her Original Music and timeless covers. With songs and stories from the heart, this super-string group bends and mends the genre-fitting confinements, playing each tune to its own. From Folk to Rock, Country to Grass, Blues to Fiddle Tunes. The driving force of this project is to showcase original music while intertwining innovative covers in the tradition of keeping music alive!
Joining Sunnie Rae in her endeavors of songs and live performance, this Stringband features local Asheville, NC legends Mark Schimick (mandolin) of “Songs From The Road Band”, Jackson Weldon (dobro, pedal steel, & banjo) from “Abby Bryant” and “Coyote Rodeo”, and JP Furnas (upright bass) from “Empire Strikes Brass” and “Resonate Rogues”.
