Sunny War has announced 2024 tour dates in support of her New West Records debut Anarchist Gospel. The tour features 3 consecutive nights supporting Mitski at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, NY, as well as the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. Additionally, she will appear at the 30A Songwriters Festival in South Walton, FL, the 2024 edition of the Cayamo Cruise, and more. Before heading abroad for her first UK & European dates in support of the album, Sunny War will support the legendary Bonnie Raitt this weekend in Austin, TX at ACL Live. Please see all dates below.
Anarchist Gospel was released on February 3, 2023 to widespread critical acclaim. NPR Music called her new music “Thrilling,” Rolling Stone said “It all amounts to a powerful statement from a singer-songwriter poised to become one of the year’s most vital voices in roots music,” and in their 9/10 rated review, Holler called it “a victory of an album,” saying “She sounds like a shrewd, modern-day Nina Simone.” MOJO Magazine named Anarchist Gospel their “Album of the Month,” calling it “an exercise in building hope out of chaos…remarkably centred and complete, the work of a songwriter who knows who she is and how she got here.” Uncut Magazine called it “a rich, evocative portrait” in their 8 out of 10 rated review while Glide Magazine called it “...a stunningly effective experience… a thoroughly unforgettable listen.” She made appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Kelly Clarkson Show, CBS Saturday Morning, and The Late Show with Steven Colbert (Late Show Me Music) in support of the album. She was selected as a TIDAL RISING Artist in 2023 and Spotify included Anarchist Gospel on their “Best Folk & Americana Albums of 2023 (So Far)” list as well. Additionally, Sunny War received a “Best New Artist” nomination at this year’s Americana Music Association Awards.
Anarchist Gospel was produced by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff) and features appearances by Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Allison Russell, David Rawlings, Jack Lawrence of the Raconteurs, Micah Nelson, John James Tourville of The Deslondes, Kyshona Armstrong, Dennis Crouch, and more. All songs were written by Sunny War with the exception of “Baby Bitch” (Ween) and “Hopeless” (Van Hunt). With Anarchist Gospel, Sunny has crafted an eclectic set of songs that draw on a range of ideas and styles: ecstatic gospel, dusty country blues, thoughtful folk, rip-roaring rock and roll, even avant garde studio experiments. She melds them together into a powerful statement of survival, revealing a probing songwriter who indulges no comforting platitudes.
