Once referred to as one of the Jam Scene’s “Best Kept Secrets” by Relix magazine, Juggling Suns have been abducting fans from New Jersey to Japan since 1997. Their roots lie in the diverse musical styles of old school psychedelia, jazz, bluegrass, funk, trance, dance and pure rock n roll, and those roots are the fuel for their legendary on-stage improvisation. Juggling has played to packed audienc
es across the globe, appeared in the Julia Roberts movie Runaway Bride, performed personally for the NBAs Bill Walton, and won consecutive awards for Best Jam Band at New Jersey’s Asbury Music Awards (2002- 2003). The Suns blend their well-crafted original music with their own take on covers from Bill Withers to The Bee Gees, striving to create a one of a kind experience at every show. The Suns have done several national tours and hold their own as one of the east coast’s favorite live acts- going 16 years strong since the band’s conception in 1995. Juggling Suns consists of founding member Mark Diomede (Solar Circus), Tim Morris, Jen Augustine, Jordan Simms (Breadbox Band/Roy Hobbs Agenda), Brian Gallo (Roy Hobbs Agenda), and Ryan Carver.
