- 70s folk-rock, Jazz-era standards, Originals and covers
Singing songs to break, melt, and mend the heart, The Sun Followers are an acoustic vocal harmony duo based in Chico, CA.
After 9 years together, Ben Ruttenburg (vocals, guitar) and Samantha Francis (vocals, harmonica, guitar, percussion, tromzoo) have a long and winding love story, as well as a wealth of experience in live music performance ranging from small town community theater stages, to New York City coffee houses, to playing in cover bands for weddings and casinos, and with the lockdowns of 2020, a number of front porches and driveways.
The Sun Followers are well-equipped to entertain and enchant any audience, whether it be a large crowd or an intimate gathering. The Sun Followers perform a mix of covers and originals drawing inspiration from 70s-era folk-rock singer-songwriters like Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, The Eagles, and Linda Ronstadt, as well as jazz-era vocalists like Etta James and Frank Sinatra, making for an eclectic and charming musical experience.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of live acts do you book?
Solo musicians, duos and full bands - violin, saxophone, singer-guitarists, vocal harmony duos and covers bands. Each act has its own page saying what it is and what it plays.
Can live musicians play alongside a DJ?
Yes, and it is the most common way they are booked. A saxophonist or violinist over a DJ set during cocktails, a band for the first hours and a DJ after - planned as one production so the evening does not restart every time the music changes hands.
What does live music cost?
Live music is quoted per act and per event, because a solo violinist and a five-piece band are not the same booking. Tell us your date, your venue and roughly how long you want them playing, and a quote follows - usually the same day.
How much space and power does an act need?
It depends on the act, and we tell you before you sign rather than on the day. Send the venue and we confirm the footprint and the power the act needs with your coordinator directly.
Can they keep the lyrics clean?
Yes. Every act on our roster will play a clean set on request, and so will every DJ. Say so in the inquiry and we confirm it with the performer before the quote goes out.
Can we add lighting to a live music booking?
Yes. Lighting is designed around the act and the room as one production, not added as a separate show.
How do we check availability and pricing?
Use the form on this page or call +1-415-689-0471. Most inquiries get a reply the same day with options and next steps.
