Sunny War announces first UK headline show get tickets – Music News

Singer-songwriter Sunny War has announced her first UK headline show this October at The Slaughtered Lamb, following the release of her breakthrough record ‘Anarchist Gospel’ earlier this year, which has been heralded as one of the best albums of 2023.

Tickets for The Slaughtered Lamb on Friday 20th October are available now below.

‘Anarchist Gospel’ was produced by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff) and features appearances by Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Allison Russell, David Rawlings, Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs, Micah Nelson, John James Tourville of The Deslondes, Kyshona Armstrong, Dennis Crouch, The School Zone Children’s Choir, and more.

It is an eclectic set of songs that draw on a range of ideas and styles: ecstatic gospel, dusty country blues, thoughtful folk, rip-roaring rock and roll, even avant garde studio experiments. Sunny melds them together into a powerful statement of survival, revealing a probing songwriter who indulges no comforting platitudes. “I feel like there are two sides of me,” says the singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso. “One of them is very self-destructive, and the other is trying to work with that other half to keep things balanced.”

As well as rave reviews in the likes of MOJO, The Times, Uncut, and Pitchfork, she has also performed live on TV shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Steven Colbert, and The Kelly Clarkson Show.
