Back when Joe Sumner lived in London, he formed a band called Santa’s Boyfriend, which became a band called Fiction Plane. The trio enjoyed a moment, well, several years of moments, a few record labels, a small handful of releases, a well-cultivated fan base and an 18-month tour supporting another trio, The Police before parting ways. Despite the notable lineage, Sumner has spent more than your perfunctory 10,000 hours perfecting his own musical vibrant craft. Fast forward to sunny Los Angeles, where Joe maintains “proud dad” status, churns out highly listenable, insanely classic, palpably epic masterpieces, including “Hope,” which had a formidable moment during the 2020 Election, co-opted by the Biden campaign and concurrently used as source material for a star studded video clip featuring folks like Gaby Moreno, Ben Folds Juliana Hatfield and Joe’s dad, Sting, in a heartfelt singalong. More recently, Joe dropped a second track, “You You You,” with the helped of American Songwriter. These tunes and a handful more, will be featured on his upcoming solo album "Sunshine In The Night" to be released in early 2023. Currently, a brand new single, “Looking For Me, Looking For You” is out to coincide with Joe’s solo tour dates and shows to wrap a North American run supporting Sting.
