“The Sun & Moon” - Chris Thomas & The Merrymakers

“The Sun & Moon” isn’t your average song. It’s a 13-year-long conversation between a kid and the man he grew up to be.

Chris Thomas & The Merrymakers, the one-man-band powerhouse from West Palm Beach, has crafted a track that walks a fine line between grunge nostalgia and dusty Americana heartache. Think Silversun Pickups meets Nirvana—if Kurt Cobain had grown up somewhere between dive bars and dusty highways, wrestling with existential dread and finally learning to breathe through it.
