Tonight’s Sunshine is the next big pop-rock band with a unique sound that jumps out and pulls you close. They've launched their new spacecraft into a genre first started by hard-driving pop-rock dance festival bands like Paramore, 21 Pilots, No Doubt, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers and more.

THE MUSIC
With an umbrella genre of pop/rock, in truth, Tonight’s Sunshine encompasses a blend of rock, funk, alternative, and pop. Their songs layer Firekid’s powerhouse vocals, Diego’s guitar solos, Grant's deep punch bass-lines, and Cougar’s strong groovy rock beats. Firekid brings a courageous stage presence with their electric ukulele, dance, and positive message-driven arrangements. Every song finds a different style that allows for the captivation of a large and diverse audience. The band manages their stage and audience with ease, making real imprinting, and lasting connections.
The Mission
Work with an alliance of local, national, and international artists to offer the celebration of music and arts to Tribal Nations, marginalized, and underserved communities across the Southwest. We offer our stage to be young influencers to champion the individual needs of each individual community and community organization.
IMPACT
Tonight’s Sunshine is now supporting over 50 artists through producing 4 monthly showcases. They’re the creators and host band for the Tribal Nations Music Tour. Their mission will always stay connect to finding ways to create cultural impact through producing or performing for important cause festivals and projects.
From their first gathering, they discovered that they each shared the same vision of using their music to support underserved communities, champion important causes, and celebrate cultures. They have produced over 90 events and concerts which have engaged over 220,000 people.
Tonight’s Sunshine invited a few amazing artists to join them on the first summer tours. Their hard work of hauling staging and gear across the Southwest has attracted international attention to the tour and its mission. It has helped generate a new conversation around how the arts can have a profound impact on engaging the community, even on a small scale.

FIREKID
History
Who is this kid? It's as difficult to describe as trying to label the band as one genre. They're the uke kid who plays uke without havng it sound like a uke, and who uses their vocal chords in a way that seems way too big for their little body. Their passion for what they believe in and who/what they love is in the vessel of their music. When they sing, people listen-and they have things to say. They have a dream that extends beyond themselves- a need to be something bigger than themselves, as well as inspire that feeling in others. Ctrl+alt+believe

History
I decided to pick up the guitar when i was 12 and never really put it down. its always been a very personal thing that i channel my emotions through and has helped through some of my darkest moments in life. Ive dedicated much of my life to music and If i had to describe my style it would be "psych grunge" I love the spacey-ness of 70s rock like robin trower and UFO but my roots belong to desert rock and metal like Kyuss and Tool. When im not playing music i love to be outdoors. Im in love with life and everything it has to offer.
Champion of
Im An artist with a mechanical mind using what i do best to try and save the world
I champion the sierra club the born free foundation ocean and others similar groups. I support these groups because i think they are making good efforts to protect animal rights and maintain the delicate balance of nature
Music
My music taste is all over the place but i like anything with groove and emotion. Some influential music to me is queens of the stone age, Tool, Incubus, Robin trower, J Cole, slothrust, Highly suspect, childish gambino, alice in chains, corrosion of conformity, and psychedlic porn crumpets.
