They released their album Bring Up the Sun in 2014. The duo announced their break-up in March 2018. Since the breakup, Jamerson continued his musical career as a solo artist.

Origin
Sundy Best was formed by two friends since elementary school, Nick Jamerson and Kris Bentley, from Prestonsburg in Eastern Kentucky. Both were athletes in college, with Jamerson playing football while at University of Pikeville where he studied history, and Bentley played basketball at Centre College in Danville where he studied English. They formed a duo after college, and moved to Lexington, Kentucky in August 2010. Jamerson performed as the lead vocalist and played the guitar, with Bentley on the cajón drum. Their name referred to the way they pronounce "Sunday best", their best clothing worn in church where they began playing music together on Sundays during their senior year in high school.

Music career
In their first year as a duo, Sundy Best produced an album, Tales, Lies and Exaggerations, which was a demo recorded at home. In December 2011, they raised $15,000 through the crowd-sourcing website Kickstarter to fund their first studio-recorded album. The album, titled Door Without a Screen, was released in the summer of 2012. They were then signed to the E1 Music music label which released a deluxe version of the album on August 27, 2013.

2014: Bring Up the Sun and Salvation City
Sundy Best recorded their next album, Bring Up the Sun, which was produced by RS Field. The album features 15 songs, including remakes of previously recorded songs, "Home," "Lilly" and "These Days." The video for "These Days" was released on 11 November 2013. The video for their lead single, "Until I Met You", was released on February 12, 2014.

Bring Up the Sun was released on March 10, 2014. The album reached No. 11 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and No. 70 on the Billboard 200 in its debut week, with 5,000 copies sold in the U.S. for the week.

Their third album Salvation City premiered on Rolling Stone on December 1, 2014, and was released for sales on December 2, 2014. The album debuted on the Top Country Albums chart at No.22.

On March 8, 2018, Jamerson announced on Facebook that the duo had broken up and that he would pursue his own project, performing as a solo artist and as part of The Jamersons with his brothers and sister. In October 2020, the duo announced via their Facebook page that they would be reuniting, which Bentley subsequently confirmed in conversation with a reporter.
