Backstory:
“Sunny Tribunal” was formed in the small coastal town of Seabrook, Oregon in 2009. The band consists of childhood friends turned passionate musicians: Jake Thomas (lead vocals and guitar), Matthew Ryan (bass), Emily Kane (drums), and Sarah Davis (keyboard and backup vocals). When they were kids, they spent their sunny days exploring the tranquil beaches and lush forest trails, often creating songs inspired by their adventures. Their bond grew stronger through high school and college, ultimately leading to the formation of Sunny Tribunal. As they honed their skills, their music, filled with nostalgia and warm melodies, began to resonate far beyond their quaint seaside town.
In their ten years of existence, Sunny Tribunal has become a staple in the indie folk scene. They aim to tell stories of love, friendship, and the joys of simple life through their music. Despite being proposed numerous record deals, they always insisted on remaining independent, wanting to have full creative control over their music.

“Seabrook Serenade”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Down by the [C] Seabrook shore I find,
[D] Memories of [G] summer left behind.
[G] Footprints in the [C] sand, carved by time,
[D] Reminds me of your [G] hand in mine.
(Chorus)
[D] Oh, Seabrook [C] Serenade,
[G] In our hearts, forever you’ll [D] stay,
[C] Your melody [G] takes us home,
[D] A symphony in every [G] stone.
(Verse 2)
[G] Underneath the [C] pines we’d lie,
[D] Counting stars in [G] the painted sky,
[G] Your laughter still [C] echoes in the breeze,
[D] And the sea still [G] whispers our stories.
(Chorus)
[D] Oh, Seabrook [C] Serenade,
[G] In our hearts, forever you’ll [D] stay,
[C] Your melody [G] takes us home,
[D] Singing love’s sweetest [G] tone.
