About Us.
The Sunflower Headlights are a motley band of wayward Chicago musicians who deliver folk rock tunes influenced by the sounds of the 1960's and 1970's. They play regularly at venues throughout the Midwest, including many popular restaurants, bars, breweries, community centers and concert halls.
In addition to their long list of covers, the Headlights are well-known for their original music as well. They released their debut single, "Hot Springs Post Office," in May 2021, following up with their eponymous first album in August 2021 and their second album, "Sweet Dreams and Ice Creams," in December 2021. They released a handful of singles throughout 2022-23: “Avalanche” in May ‘22, “Bonfire” in Feb ‘23, and “Okay Yeah” in March ‘23. They are currently dreaming up a new original project which will be released in late 2024.
