or As a Duo,
or as Four-piece Band with an revolving roster of incredible musicians.
SunHunter’s original songs span all corners of rock,
serving up High Energy power anthems for hopeful but broken souls.
Blasting out an insane number 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 his own.
Sunhunter’s
skills,
smarts, and charisma define his performances, a master at making his sets fit each venue and vibe, from night clubs AND dive bars to Festivals , Wineries, weddings and garden parties.
2023 was an exciting year with a full tour schedule and Full length debut album on the way. In September, Sunhunter Band shared the stage with the legendary Big Brother & the Holding Co. at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA.
“Tomas Dessle AKA SunHunter possesses the rare triple threat: a soulful textured voice, dextrous and confident mastery of his instrument (guitar) + great songwriting. Equally comfortable performing solo or with a full band – He is a rising artist in the Bay Area music scene and someone to watch. With every show he gathers more fans. Highly recommended. ”
— Jonathan Korty, Marin County talent buyer and founder of Vinyl/Soulska

Migrant Pickers
If Joe Strummer had come up in Greenwich Village taking guitar lessons from Dave Van Ronk and crate digging for Rev. Gary Davis records, he might sound something like Migrant Pickers’ Gary Adler. Acoustic finger-picking guitar with a rock n roll edge, Gary’s music combines technical virtuosity with honest, soulful songwriting.
Founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts by Gary and Mark Lahti, Migrant Pickers emerged from the creatively charged Boston area folk and rock scenes of the early 90’s.
Relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area in the 2010’s, The Pickers have expanded in their adventurous, westward migration.
Singer Brenda Burke brings a captivating counterpoint to Gary’s style with her soaring lead and harmony vocals and memorable takes on treasured classics and other beloved nuggets.
Drummer Eric Morris personifies seasoned ringer. A Bay Area native, Eric is the rock holding this magnificent machine in place. Currently performing with Walt The Dog among others, Eric has played with many noteworthy musicians including Neil Schon (Journey), John Lee Hooker, Peter Rowan (Old & In The Way), David Friedberg (Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Airplane/Starship), Mickey Thomas (Elvin Bishop Group, Starship), Dan Vickrey (Counting Crows), Re Styles (The Tubes), Craig Bartock (Heart), Zack Smith (Scandal), Billy Goodman and Josh Z (Protein, The Mother Truckers).
Disciples of Woody Guthrie with a rock in their shoe, Migrant Pickers are firmly rooted in the subversive traditions of American folk and rock. Electrified by Mark Lahti’s driving bass guitar and Eric Morris’ propulsive timekeeping, Gary, Mark, Brenda and Eric’s performances are unapologetic acts of defiance– of genre, expectation, and the very laws of physics.
Migrant Pickers will take you on a freight train ride from the deepest roots of American music to outer space and back.
