An acoustic duo that sounds nothing like an acoustic duo, Champagne Sunday describe their unique sound as “Glam-Folk”; in that they like to tell stories and engage with their audiences, but they’re happier and don’t wear corduroy. Crowds have described their shows’ positive message as therapeutic and “just what everyone needs right now”.
Their eclectic musical style is the result of Jessi’s upbringing as a musical theater and Funk/R&B fan from SoCal and Jared’s as a Seattle grunge and Americana fan from rural Pennsylvania. Together, they make music that is deceptively complex, but played with an ease and passion that is simultaneously surprising and familiar.
Members Jared and Jessi met and formed Champagne Sunday in Ventura, CA in 2005 and have since worked hard to build a dedicated, national, grassroots, DIY following. After relocating to Tacoma, WA in 2012, they’ve had the pleasure of recording with Shawn Simmons (The Head and the Heart) and Javier Garavito (youryoungbody) in 2022. Most recently, they recorded an album with J.P. Hesser (Chuck D, Chris Robinson Band), released in May of 2025, marking both their tenth release and their twentieth year.
