Lineup
SunSquabi
Music brings us to our feet literally, figuratively, and spiritually. It inspires us to rise up to the trials and tribulations of our daily lives and, on a larger scale, to the challenges of the world. Through an unspoken sonic communion between three distinct musical identities, SunSquabi—Kevin Donohue [guitar, keys, production], Josh Fairman [bass, synth], and Scotty Zwang [drums]—rouse us from inactivity and into action when we need the extra push through their signature live electronica sound. After racking up tens of millions of streams and delivering rapturous performances at legendary venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre, they continue to incite personal revolutions louder than ever with their recent releases Cloudburst EP [2024] and Grind EP [2024]. “The past few years have shown us how resilient people can be,” observes Kevin. “Our music reflects that journey—overcoming obstacles and finding light through it all. These EPs are a testament to staying grounded, connected, and hopeful.” SunSquabi has ignited the energy of listeners everywhere since 2015. They’ve unveiled a string of fan-favorite releases such as Odyssey [2016], Deluxe EP [2017], and Instinct [2019]. Praised by outlets like 303 Magazine, JamBase, and Live For Live Music, they’ve also earned acclaim from Westword, which proclaimed, “The record has electrifying moments,” and ThisSongIsSick, which raved, “SunSquabi never fails to bring the funk.” Along the way, they’ve sold out venues coast-to-coast, capturing one of their iconic Red Rocks gigs on SunSquabi (Live at Red Rocks). The trio has collaborated with String Cheese Incident, Late Night Radio, Lettuce, and GRiZ, among others. Much of their newest music has emerged from the synergy of marathon jam sessions, the energy of live gigs, and their ever-evolving creative chemistry. Josh reflects, “We’ve always stayed authentic to ourselves and the music we feel in our hearts. That’s what keeps us going and what our fans connect with.”
