KEXP DJ Greg Vandy on the Adventurous Spirit of Sonny & The Sunsets

Host Evie Stokes sits down with KEXP DJ Greg Vandy, host of our Sunday morning roots radio show The Roadhouse. Greg talk about his earliest days getting into KEXP with a cassette demo and his love for Bay Area group Sonny & The Sunsets. He talks about the band’s adventurous spirit, including writing whole albums for fictional bands and their most recent album recorded in Senegal with Senegalese musicians. “Something To Hold On To” comes from the group’s 2025 album, The Diving Kind, out now on Rocks In Your Head Records.
