WINNER - BEST LOCAL BAND - 2025 - READERS' CHOICE AWARDS - PACIFIC SUN WEEKLY

Sunhunter is the alt-rock project of Tomas Dessle, a home-grown Marin County misfit turned global troubadour. After tasting all the flavors of the psychedelic rainbow and relentlessly pursuing his craft, Sunhunter eventually morphed into a veritable musical chameleon. Traveling the world with his guitar, he has electrified venues big and small throughout California, the Pacific Northwest Coast, and all over Asia in front of crowds of 10,000 strong.

Sunhunter performs as Tomas solo, as a duo, or as a four-piece band featuring his longtime partners in crime: guitar slinger Jackson Langford, bassist Zach Norman, and percussionist Josh Garcia. Sunhunter's original songs span all corners of rock, creating genre-bending power anthems for hopeful, broken souls. Tomas's soaring vocals, melodies, and heartfelt lyrics, alongside the landscape-changing riffs of guitar hero Jackson and his sun-soaked, saccharine harmonies, define their singular sound.

With a reputation for blasting out epic three-hour shows featuring stellar originals, as well as a deep catalog of polished covers ranging from Bowie to The Beatles, Radiohead to Rick James, and Pink Floyd to Paula Abdul, Sunhunter breathes new life into classics and contemporary hits, making them their own.

Sunhunter's skills, smarts, and charisma define their performances. They are masters at tailoring their sets to fit each venue and vibe, from top nightclubs and dive bars to festivals, wineries, weddings, and garden parties.

2025 has been an exciting year for the group. After being crowned “Best Local Band 2025” by Pacific Sun Weekly’s Readers' Choice Awards, Sunhunter is ramping things up with a packed tour schedule that includes top venues, festivals, and a full-length debut album release in November.
