2 Bands - One Great Night! Kids That Fly and SUM SUN

Kids That Fly - formed in the fall of 2018, while attending the University of Connecticut. It wasn’t long before they fell into a steady rhythm of playing shows in and around Connecticut, while simultaneously commuting in and out of New York City to record and perform in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Having all grown up in Connecticut, the crew has had a lot of influence from other Connecticut musicians such as Rivers Cuomo of Weezer. Each member has played music in the indie/alt rock spheres, even dabbled in jazz, but their broad collective musical taste includes The Black Keys, The 1975, The Killers, and Catfish and the Bottlemen — keeping them tied to a more alternative rock sound.

Praised by outlets like Atwood Magazine for their “captivating indie rock anthems” and Music Connection Magazine for their “polished, powerfully fun pop-rock,” the band has also been lauded by The Aquarian for their “fervent spirit, rock energy, and romanticism-laced narratives."

SUM SUN - Nick Benton and Ilan Pomerance are the duo behind the pop-driven indie project SUM SUN. Known for their blend of electropop energy, anthemic guitars, and emotionally sharp songwriting, the band has built a reputation for infectious hooks and high-impact live shows that consistently pack venues across the country.

Since debuting in 2022, SUM SUN has grown a global following, earned People’s Emerging Artist of 2023, and received praise from outlets including SPIN, Rolling Stone, Billboard, MTV, and SiriusXM. With over 25 million streams in three years and editorial support across Spotify — including New Music Friday and the cover of soda for their single “Bite The Bullet” — SUM SUN enters 2026 with major momentum and new music on the way.
