The five-piece are the love child of leading frontwoman Kahlia Ferguson and singer/songwriter Lawson Doyle. The dynamic pair were fatefully drawn together at Bluesfest 2019, as showcasing artists in previous projects on the Delta Stage. Struck by each other’s raw talent, the two quickly discovered a unique musical connection through months of songwriting and performing together behind the scenes.

Fortuitously, both lead singers found themselves standing in the ruins of their respective bands within a week of each other. Instead of retreating to lick their wounds, the concept of a brand new project featuring their paradoxical musicality and seductive mystique quickly came to life.

Emerging from Brisbane, SUNFLOWER are the perfect storm of soul, pop and rock in a stifling musical climate. The band features powerful, seasoned performances by Lawson Doyle (vocals/guitar), Kahlia Ferguson (vocals/keys/guitar), Dave Webster (lead guitar), Sam Woods (bass) and Luke Woods (drums).

In the bands short time together they have had the opportunity to play StKilda Festival, Mordifest, Beerfest Brisbane, Mitchell Creek Blues Festival and opening for a string of dates with singer songwriter Jack Botts in Queensland. The band have successfully sold out their headline shows at Melbournes Bar Open, Brisbanes Black Bear Lodge and Sunshine Coasts Solbar this year.

Their engaging repertoire moves effortlessly through the sultry swagger of Kahlia’s blues and the high-voltage energy of Lawson’s rock & roll. Their blend of their soaring Oasis melodies and evocative Fleetwood Mac chemistry resonates with audiences of all walks of life, who are drawn to SUNFLOWER and their exciting fusion of flavours.

With one foot rooted in the past and the other firmly planted in the future, SUNFLOWER are one of Australia’s fast-emerging must-see acts.
