Jacksonville Music Experience (JME) is bringing Sunny War to Jacksonville this Friday! With a guitar style that marries acoustic punk to country blues and a songwriting approach that lays it all — the good and the bad – on the line, the Nashville-based singer-songwriter was one of the most buzzed-about artists on the American-roots scene, even prior to the release of her 2023 full length, Anarchist Gospel. Her fourth studio album, Anarchist Gospel speaks to the fleetingness of even the hardest-won stability, and features guest spots from Allison Russell, Jim James, Dave Rawlings, and Chris Pierce (her partner in the duo War & Pierce). The record has already been named one of the best albums of the year by Rolling Stone, Spin and Mojo. NPR Music called it “thrilling”; and the New Yorker calls Sunny War “an ascendent voice in roots music.”

Our very own Folk Is People will open the show.
