Content, Content, Content!

Hello friends,

A belated update. The tour with Phox was completely wonderful. If you're wondering, I can confirm that they are terribly sweet people, hard workers, and thoughtful folks all the way around. It was a gift to hear them every night for a couple weeks.

You can check out a live video of Easy Kid with me and my full band shot on the second of the two Madison shows with Phox, HERE.

Also, my full band Daytrotter Session was posted and it turned out great!

Fall shows are coming into focus so be sure to take a look and see if one will be in your neighborhood.

love,

J.E. Sunde

Song Premiere: Easy Kid

Hello Friends,

I'm happy to let you know that the Pre-Release shows this last weekend went amazingly well. I can't tell you how grateful I am to my friends and compatriots who played in the band (Jesse Edgington, Jason Sunde, Marty Brueggemann, and Julie and Andrew Thoreen of Har-Di-Har). 

If you couldn't make the show (or even if you could) make sure you take a listen to the first single off the new record premiering on MPR's The Current, music blog. The tune is called Easy Kid. Check it out HERE.

love,

J.E. Sunde

It's All Happening

Album Release

Due to various concerns, I assure you they are well considered and make a whole bunch of sense, my debut album, Shapes That Kiss The Lips Of God, will be released on July 15th rather than June 3rd. Now some of you may take this as an unreasonable delay... If so, good. I hope it whips you into a frenzy of anticipation.


But wait, I might be able to get the album early?

Yes, for those of you in the Midwest come to one of my three Pre-Release shows featuring a full 6 piece band and enjoy the exclusive opportunity to purchase the album (on CD or Vinyl) prior to it's July release.

Pre-Release Shows:
June 5- Ribco, Rock Island, IL
w/The Multiple Cat, Brooke Strause, Bedroom Shrine

June 6- City Pages Presents: J.E. Sunde Debut Album Pre-Release Show, Amsterdam Bar & Hall, St. Paul, MN

Cartouche Records + J.E. Sunde= News

Hello Friends.

I'm am enormously excited to announce that I will be collaborating with Cartouche Records, out of Davenport, IA, to release my new record. I've gotten to know the guys at Cartouche over the years with frequent trips to Davenport and Rock Island to perform and record music. I'm really humbled that they are as excited about this new record as I am and willing to birth it into the world.

The album is titled Shapes That Kiss The Lips Of God. We will be releasing it this spring.
