As their name suggests, the Sunshine Makers create music that radiates with a warm glow. With a bouquet of vocal arrangements, and the use of organic instrumentation alongside analog synthesizers, their sound is an amalgamation of modern and nostalgic vibes with deep roots in R&B, funk, jazz and neo-soul. 

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, 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). After a move to London, Ontario in 2018, Jackson reconstituted the six-piece live band to include a fluid collection of players, instruments, and voices that aim to inspire movement, evolution, and collaboration.

Sunshine Makers has shared the stage with a remarkable collection of bands including The Delvon Lamar Organ Trio, Shad, Dwayne Gretzky, SHEBAD, Odario Williams (Grand Analog), My Son the Hurricane, and King Cruff, and performed at Riverfest, Supercrawl, NXNE, and many other events. Their first Eastern-Canada tour follows their Sunfest appearance, in support of their debut album.
