We are Motel Sundown.
With a sound reminiscent of soft-rock bands of the 60s & 70s, Motel Sundown draw listeners with their blend of heartfelt lyrics over luscious three part harmonies.
The three friends began writing together in 2018 after discovering mutual influences, releasing their debut album If You Were Listening in 2022 following a trio of singles. Labelled “a band to watch in 2024 and beyond” (Fatea) the Liverpool based band have since supported The Hanging Stars, Ashley Campbell, The Chapin Sisters and more recently, US Grammy nominated artist Courtney Marie Andrews, with two UK tours under their belt.
2024 proved their busiest year yet following the release of their debut EP El Dorado in June, (“vividly nostalgic songs that envelop and intrigue you” - Boot Music) and sold out shows at the Music Room, Liverpool and Green Note, Camden. Gaining momentum, the trio made their second appearance at Black Deer Festival in the Summer, before sharing a line-up with The Jacksons at Liverpool Pier Head, closing the year with a 9-date UK and Ireland tour selling out venues in Wales, Ireland and Liverpool.
Their 2025 itinerary sees them continue with their highly anticipated self-releases, following the success of their fingerpicked ballad Rosie which has received comparisons to the likes of Nick Drake and Fleetwood Mac, surpassing 20k streams on Spotify. Catch their harmonies live at Festivals this Summer and at their headline show at ARC, Liverpool in July.
“After all their time playing in Liverpool, it's no surprise their sound is already honed and song craft accomplished.”
AMERICANA UK
“The perfect soundtrack to a road trip at sunset, leaving your troubles behind and your hopes out in front.”
