Sunny War is a talented blues, folk, and punk artist hailing from Los Angeles. With her unique blend of genres, she captivates audiences with her soulful voice and powerful guitar skills.
Her music draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists including H.C. McEntire, Doug Paisley, Esther Rose, and Robert Forster among others. Sunny's sound is both raw and authentic, resonating with listeners who appreciate genuine artistry.
Whether she's performing solo or collaborating with other musicians, Sunny War's passion for music shines through in every note. Her songs are filled with emotion and honesty, making her an artist worth discovering for any music lover.

Sunny War, also known as Sydney Ward, found inspiration for her latest album&nbsp;Armageddon In A Summer Dress while living in her late father's 100-year-old house in Chattanooga, TN. She initially thought the house was haunted. Eerie sounds and visions led her to write the song "Ghosts." However, she later discovered that hallucinations were caused by gas leaks, shifting her understanding of those experiences but not her artistic focus.&nbsp;Armageddon In A Summer Dress explores themes of memory, loss, and the ghosts of past selves.

After the success of her 2022 album,&nbsp;Anarchist Gospel, Sunny spent more time touring with artists like Bonnie Raitt and Mitski. To avoid falling back into past struggles with alcohol, she channeled her energy into music, crafting intricate demos and experimenting with sound. This process involved shifting from acoustic to electric guitar, aiming for a fuller band sound.

Tracks like "One Way Train" and "No One Calls Me Baby" highlight her blend of punk and roots influences, emphasizing the rebellious spirit shared by both genres. A notable collaboration on the album is with Steve Ignorant from Crass, whose participation in "Walking Contradiction" reflects Sunny's admiration for the band and its critique of modern society.

Armageddon in a Summer Dress&nbsp;serves as a reflection on identity and choices, balancing heavy themes with empowerment. Sunny War encourages listeners to live authentically and resist societal pressures. Committed to continual growth, she sees every performance and song as an opportunity for exploration. Through her music, Sunny War captures the complexities of life, loss, and the transformative power of creativity.
