Sugar Snap Peas with 03popmachine, Johnny Sunrise

Sugar Snap Peas is a 6-piece fusion outfit based out of Raleigh, NC. Drawing on a set of influences spanning jazz to dreampop, the Peas' sound is characterized by intricate grooves, colorful harmonies, and a lushness that fills the room. The Peas guide audiences between intimate ballads and high-energy arrangements over the course of their live sets. Propelled by musical curiosity informed by sophisticated tastes, they offer a sound unique in the Triangle music scene.

03popmachine is a Raleigh-based indie noise band influenced by modern college rock. Formed in 2025 by Elijah Hall and Michael Utt after working on the project My Sister Maura, they recruited Chris Gonzales to play drums.

Hailing from Western Massachusetts, and now based in Carrboro, NC, Johnny Sunrise is an indie folk rock singer-songwriter who draws inspiration from love, longing, the “quarter-life crisis,” and the uncertainty of life. Although Johnny grew up with music primarily as a drummer, his unforeseen travels up and down the east coast and the isolation caused by the COVID pandemic brought him closer to his neglected guitar. Johnny is now joined by the uber talented duo Gabby Messner (bass) and Jake Richter (drums) whose contributions take the live show to another level. Johnny has carved a place in the NC triangle music scene over the couple of years performing original songs with honest lyrics and a soulful voice. Always with a smile and a healthy dose of banter.
