I’m living my dream life with you..

Hailing from Western Massachusetts and now based in Carrboro, North Carolina, Johnny Sunrise is an indie folk rock singer-songwriter who draws inspiration from love, longing, the “quarter-life crisis,” and the uncertainty of life. Although Johnny grew up with music primarily as a drummer, his unforeseen travels up and down the East Coast and the isolation caused by the pandemic brought him closer to his neglected guitar. Johnny is now joined by the uber-talented trio Marco “Paco” Marvelli (lap steel), Gabby Messner (bass), and Jake Richter (drums), whose contributions take the live show to another level. Johnny has carved a place in the NC triangle music scene over the past couple of years, performing original songs with honest lyrics and a soulful voice. Always with a smile and a healthy dose of banter.
