In this episode we sat down with songwriter and musician, Sonny Smith, of Sonny & the Sunsets. Sonny is a prolific artist, a Bay Area native, a father, a late-bloomer, and an all-around great guy. We talk with Sonny about his start, his path to success in music, the beauty of recycling ideas, and his experience starting his own record label, Rocks in Your Head. Listen as Sonny takes you on a sonic journey through the streets of San Francisco, the mountains of Colorado, and the trails of Costa Rica. Stick around to the end of the episode to hear an unreleased song from Sonny's upcoming album!
