The Sun Harmonic is a Canadian indie folk band formed in 2009 by singer-songwriter Kaleb Hikele. The band is known for its unique blend of indie rock, folk, and alternative country music, as well as its dynamic live performances.

History
The Sun Harmonic was formed in 2009 by singer-songwriter Kaleb Hikele. The band's self-titled debut album, "The Sun Harmonic," was released the same year. The band quickly gained a following for their blend of folk, rock, and pop influences, and for Hikele's introspective lyrics that explored themes of love, loss, and personal growth.

The band's second and third albums, "Chemistry" and "Season," were released in 2010.

In 2015, The Sun Harmonic released their fourth album, "After We Fly," which was well-received by critics for its mature sound and introspective lyrics. The album features a mix of acoustic and electric instrumentation, and showcases the band's growth and evolution.

In 2017, the band released the EP "Winter," which features a more stripped-down, acoustic sound than their previous work. The EP includes a mix of new tracks and re-recorded versions of old favourites.

The band continued to release new music in 2018 and 2019, including the singles "Home Is Where Massey Hall Is," "In The Forest," "A Heart So Heavy," and "Sign On The Road." In 2020, The Sun Harmonic released the EP "It's All Okay, Thanks To You," which features a more stripped-down, acoustic sound than their previous work. The band also released several singles in 2020, including "A Dream I've Had," "To The Blue," and "A Song For Her."

In 2021, The Sun Harmonic released their sixth studio album, "Coast to Coast," which features a mix of upbeat, foot-stomping tracks and introspective ballads. The album showcases the band's growth and versatility, and has been well-received by fans and critics alike.

In 2022, the band released the single "Apology," which features a more melancholic sound and introspective lyrics.

Musical style
The Sun Harmonic's music is characterized by its eclectic blend of indie rock, folk, and alternative country. Hikele's vocals are often compared to those of Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, and the band's music is known for its thoughtful lyrics and catchy melodies. The band's sound has been described as "organic" and "timeless," and it has been praised for its ability to capture the essence of different musical eras and genres.

Live performances
The Sun Harmonic is known for its energetic and dynamic live performances, which often feature guest musicians and improvisation. The band has performed at several festivals, including the Canadian Music Week and the Festival of Friends, and has opened for acts such as the Strumbellas and Arkells.
