Description

Sunny War is a soulful performer who's been called folk, folk-punk, blues and more. Whatever she is she's the real deal. Come and see. From Clatter: This is a special engagement show we feel lucky to get. Why is L.A. based musician Sunny Way playing at Clatter? (1) our location between Pittsburgh and New York, (2) our deep desire to have her play in Frostburg, and (3) we deserve it. It's a Tuesday show, so plan ahead and make it work. Don't miss this rare and special night. From Forbes.com: “Boy sit tight, ‘cause I am/ Trying to save the world with my bare hands,” sings folk artist Sunny War on her song “Like Nina.” The track paints Black women musicians as archetypes Sunny feels she can choose between. Sunny doesn’t dance like Tina, or belt like Aretha. She feels most like Nina: a poet with a downcast gaze and virtuosic mastery of an instrument." Other copy: "Sunny War is more than just an artist; she is a force of nature that is tough to pin down. What exactly is her style? Blues or punk? Yes, she may be a Robert Johnson with a shot of Bad Brains, but even this description falls short. The only way to really know Sunny is to immerse oneself in the music. Easy enough, right? " "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."
