The Band Sunago
Sunago: Greek for “To gather together”
Sunago is a band of musicians whose ambition is to bring an element of joy to people's lives through music and lyric. The very meaning of the name Sunago encompasses the definition: “to bring together those who were once separated, to hospitably entertain.” In a world filled with political and pandemic division, our goal is to bring people together to enjoy an evening filled with inspirational music and positive lyrics. Our purpose is to fund a much bigger vision and mission of the non profit Warm Blankets through the generous hearts of those who donate.
