When he first bought a house in Colorado, Jim Heekin built a studio in his new basement. Having played in various bands while living in Brooklyn, he wanted to build musical momentum in his new home.

From there, he made connections with other musicians in the area. Slowly, a lineup of people developed, and by 2013, the group had cemented itself as the lineup of a new project, Sun Jr.

Heekin provides guitar and sings vocals with banjo player Matt Kubis. Nod Norkus provides drums, Jeremiah Streets plays keys and bass, and Jon Schimek performs on pedal steel and guitar.

The group frequently jams together, connecting as players but also as friends. For them, playing music and hanging out go hand in hand, and because of how much time they spent playing, the band grew organically.
