Sunfire

Sunfire Western Folk: an energetic and raw mix of folk, americana, country, bluegrass, roots & rock.

The band Sunfire makes quite a stir, literally and figuratively. At many festivals, pop stages and theatres throughout Europe, the formation from The Hague brings their own innovative Western folk style, a tasty mix of solid americana, folk, country, bluegrass, rock and roots. Everywhere this five-piece goes, the roof goes off during their energetic live shows. "Whoever doesn't get a kick out of this is brain dead," says Folk Magazine.

Dressed in the latest fashions of the late-19th century and armed with musicianship, Sunfire brings compelling stories and rousing music from the Old West, where standing still is not an option. Expect drama, suspense and a touch of humour during a show, whether at a festival, a pop stage or a theatre performance. Hold onto your hat tightly, because these pioneers of the Western Folk Scene will take you away and won't let you go.

Sunfire is Satria Karsono (lead vocals, banjo, guitar), Sophie Zaaijer (violin, vocals), Berend de Vries (guitar, vocals), Jeroen van Leeuwen (drums, vocals) and Michel Beeckman (bass, vocals).
