Sonny's Porch | Sun Bum

Sonny’s Porch is a respite for traveling bands looking to get off the road to ride some waves, eat some food, shoot some pool, or just crash for a few hours. If they feel like playing some music on our back porch… we’re stoked.

Sonny’s Porch has always been about community, ever since our first band squeezed onto the tiny stage at our Cocoa Beach home/office back in 2015. Since then, it’s been our way of welcoming friends, family, and under-the-radar musicians into our world. This time, it was Being Dead’s turn.

From the local honky-tonk circuit to the mechanical-bull-like wedges in the pool, we couldn’t have asked for a more fitting zone to welcome Rattlesnake Milk at our pop-up Sonny’s Porch event on opening day of the 2025 Waco Surf Water Park summer season.

What do you get when you combine 1970s Zambian rock legends, freakishly talented younger musicians from Europe, USA and Zambia and an old beach shack porch? You get a night to remember.

It’s (Almost) Always Sonny in Austin

Earlier this month, we packed up our cowboy boots and a ten-gallon hat (OK, so we borrowed them from a friend), and headed out to Austin, TX for its annual SXSW festival.

[The Mattson 2 Live at Sonny's Porch](/content/blogs/sonnys-porch/the-mattson-2 "The Mattson 2 Live at Sonny's Porch"/index.html)

The Mattson 2 is a mixture of sonic ingredients including (but not limited to) traditional jazz, surf, psychedelic, and indie. And over the years, their songs have effortlessly made their way onto our mix tapes, transitioned to burned CD’s we made for our friends, and now take their rightful place onto pretty much every “good vibes” playlist we have saved on Spotify. We’re unabashedly ride or die fans.

We honestly didn’t know too much about these guys when we first heard they were comin’ into town. When they showed up to our Cocoa Beach office, they just seemed like three humble dudes from Hawaii who smiled a lot and were apparently really talented musicians.

We’ve had quite a few musicians play on Sonny’s Porch in our time but having Fat Tony on deck was unlike anything we’d ever seen before.

Beyond his talent as a musician, Ray Barbee is also one of the pioneers of skateboarding and helped lay the groundwork for what street skating is today.

Sugar Candy Mountain made a pitstop before jumping onto the European leg of their winter tour. Loved having them stop by the porch, share some songs & sip some brews with us.

Cotton Jones took a break from their US tour, and stopped by our Cocoa Beach office to grace our ear drums with their soothing melodies and the first ever tuba on Sonny’s Porch...

What began as a typical Monday at the Sun Bum beach house, quickly turned into a half day party when about 100 or more fans mobbed the crowded back porch after catching wind of the unpublicized concert...

The Electric Sons made the trek all the way from Atlanta just to chill on Sonny’s Porch with us. Despite the dark skies that kept getting darker, the band unloaded and setup for a quick set...
