With intricate guitar work, searing lyrics, and an unflinching point of view, Sunny War blurs the lines between punk, folk, blues, and soul. Her latest album, Armageddon in a Summer Dress , is a powerful and personal meditation on loss, resilience, and transformation. Written in a creaky old house in Chattanooga—while unknowingly hallucinating from a gas leak—these songs pull from real ghosts and imagined ones, weaving poetic stories of all the selves we leave behind. A breakout star following her 2022 album Anarchist Gospel , Sunny has shared stages with Bonnie Raitt, Mitski, Iron & Wine, and Sarah Shook. Her signature blend of punk urgency and roots tradition has earned her praise for both her virtuosic guitar playing and her fearless songwriting. Whether it’s the snarling “Walking Contradiction” featuring Steve Ignorant of Crass, or the introspective “Ghosts” , Sunny brings an unmatched rawness and clarity to her work. Her songs are defiant and deeply human, layered with emotion and steeped in tradition, while never confined by it. Fans of artists like Valerie June, Rhiannon Giddens, and Patti Smith will feel at home in Sunny’s presence. Join us for an evening of cathartic, genre-defying music from one of today’s most compelling and uncompromising voices. SAMPLE SONG Can't make it in person?

A Nashville-based musician with a Midwestern upbringing, Griffin House bought his first guitar for $100 from a friend, then turned down a golf scholarship to Ohio University and instead went to Miami University where he taught himself how to play guitar and write songs. Inspired by Bruce Springsteen, Woody Guthrie, and the Mermaid Avenue albums by Wilco and Billy Bragg, House embraced the craft of songwriting and issued several albums as an independent artist. His mix of sentimental melodies, ambient guitars, and sparse arrangements attracted attention from Nettwerk, a Vancouver-based record label, and House soon partnered with the label’s American branch to issue Lost & Found in 2004. Several self-released albums followed, and House signed with RCA before issuing Flying Upside Down , a folk-rock album recorded with members of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers. ( AllMusic ) His latest release “The Tides” is a five song EP recorded with Grammy Award-winning producer Jacquire King. House spikes his pop/rock songwriting with a hearty dose of rootsy, atmospheric Americana. He has shared the stage with artists such as Ron Sexsmith, Patti Scialfa, Josh Ritter, John Mellencamp, Mat Kearney, and The Cranberries. American Songwriter raves, “If you are looking to be blown away by raw talent, then look no further than Griffin House.” SAMPLE SONG Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV .
