Sun-Riser is a Chicago-based Rock band made up of long-time collaborators Kevin Conroy and Aaron Baer, solidified with drummer Jesse Kay. Each song is a cocktail, mixed with vibrant harmonies, soothing textures, and dash of post-grunge bitters. Measured by hand, their music covers a depth of emotions, offering a shoulder to cry on in the dark hours, and a crisp high-five during the highs.
Formed in 2019, Sun-Riser released their debut single "Fightman Floater." They gigged extensively in Chicago at house shows and local venues like Cubby Bear, and notably made it to the finals of Moe's Tavern's Battle of The Bands, before the finals were halted due to the pandemic. In July of 2021, they notably headlined the Homegrown Arts & Music Festival in Lisle, IL.
In October of 2023, they released their debut album "Light Years."
