NEWS - SUNSHINE MAKERS Album
Sunshine Makers began in 2017 as a Toronto-based project led by Brent Jackson (The Junction) in partnership with producer Ben Fox. The project was rooted in collaboration, diversity, and creative freedom, which opened up opportunities to work with creative gems in the Toronto scene such as, Julien Barbagallo (Tame Impala), Odario Williams (Grand Analog), Aquakultre, Chester Hansen (BADBADNOTGOOD), Caitlin Woelfle-O’Brien (Blunt Chunks), keyboardist Jem Roberts, and saxophonist Dennis Passley (Arkells). Jackson and Fox released two singles independently in 2018, receiving CBC radio airplay and gaining opportunities to grow the project. After a move to London in 2018, Jackson reconstituted the live band to include a fluid collection of players, instruments, and voices that aim to inspire movement, evolution, and collaboration. Sunshine Makers has now solidified as a 6-piece London-based band featuring Jackson on lead vocals and guitar, Imogen Wasse on vocals, Thomas Perquin on drums, Shayn Barnes on percussion, Aidan Wasse on bass, and Tina Powell on keys and vocals.
