The Story
With their uncanny lyrics, massive harmonies, and six-string fireworks, Sunspot has been touring the rock underground just beyond the radio and just outside the mainstream. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, Sunspot sings big driving rock anthems that capture the fantastic and bring it back down to Earth.
Sunspot has shared the stage with bands like Death Cab for Cutie, Flaming Lips, Everclear, and even KC and the Sunshine Band. They've won over every crowd as well as the Wisconsin Area Music Industry's Artist of the Year... an honor shared with Garbage, the Violent Femmes, and Bon Iver. In in 2026 they celebrate their 30th anniversary as a band.
