Sunbathe and Strange Pilgrim
live at The Sou’wester Lodge 9/7/24

Maggie Morris, the driving force behind Sunbathe, is known for her raw, soaring vocals and dynamic songwriting, spanning dreamy pop to garage rock. Josh Barnhart, the multi-instrumentalist behind Strange Pilgrim, creates psychedelic-infused soundscapes and introspective lyrics that evoke both the natural world and the anxieties of modern life. Together, they promise a unique and intimate performance, blending their distinctive styles for a memorable evening.
