Think bluesy Zeppelin-esqe bombast, Santana style percussion with wild Avett Brothers energy. At a Sun King show, you can expect to dance, sweat and have a *very* good time. Jim Donovan, the band’s founder and writer brings almost three decades of experience to the Sun King Warriors. As a member of the popular 90’s band Rusted Root, he helped shaped the group’s sound and toured with legendary including The Grateful Dead, members of Led Zeppelin, Carlos Santana and the Allman Brothers. He also co-authored the band’s biggest hit, “Send Me on My Way,” which has been streamed over 300 million times on Spotify and used as the wakeup music for NASA’s Mars rover.
