Autumn Sun is rising...
The Ithaca Music scene is proud to introduce it's brand new pandemic baby- Autumn Sun! Blurring the lines between Americana and New Folk, Autumn Sun reaches deep into the heart…original songs with substance and story…classic folk songs given new life and made fresh with harmony and haunting bold new instrumentation.

Often heard playing her fiddle for English Country Dances- we have stolen her from the world of trad playing. Check out her heartfelt solos, great fiddle rhythm, and beautiful back up harmonies

Our heartbeat is our pulse on drums and percussion, keeping us tight and right. From folk to rock, his tasty beats are beautiful and perfect for every song we present.

Breaking out originals on national folk radio charts and national tours, Sue is bringing her beautiful vocals, originals, and great guitar playing to the band. We grabbed her off the road (straight outta Falcon Ridge this year)- and we are so happy to have her.
