Justin and Megan of Sunny Downpour met at the airport in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in February 2020, right before the pandemic. What began as a planned first date turned into an unexpected quarantine together, giving them the rare opportunity to grow close quickly and discover a shared love for music. What started as spontaneous jam sessions soon blossomed into a musical career that has flourished over the past four years, bringing more joy than they ever imagined and opening doors to opportunities beyond their wildest dreams.
Justin’s musical journey began around campfires during his college days. His passion grew as he honed his craft, becoming a skilled entertainer in his 20s and later an accomplished audio technician. Megan’s path was more unexpected; her first time singing into a microphone was during an impromptu performance at the beloved Princess Wine Bar in Crested Butte, where Justin encouraged her to sing “Jolene.” From that moment, she embraced performing alongside him, steadily growing her talents. Today, Megan wows audiences with her skills on guitar, mandolin, and piano, showcasing her evolution as a dynamic musician.
Over the years, Justin and Megan have performed everywhere, from cozy gatherings, as the live music for weddings, intimate listening rooms, to festivals in front of thousands. They’ve expanded beyond their Crested Butte roots to play throughout Colorado, with notable performances at the Surf Hotel in Buena Vista and the Durango Hot Springs. Their reach has even taken them beyond the state, including performances at Alice Walton’s Crystal Bridges in Arkansas and the Yacht Club in Yelapa, Mexico. No matter the location, they’ve made it their mission to connect deeply with any audience, creating memorable, heartfelt experiences at every show.
While their performances keep them busy, they’re also dedicated to expanding their creative horizons. Behind the scenes, they are working on original music that reflects their unique journey and evolving style. They’re exploring acoustic arrangements as well as dipping into digital music, eager to share this exciting new chapter with their fans.
Sunny Downpour’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of music and love. From Megan’s first performance to playing at major festivals and renowned venues, the last four years have been a whirlwind of growth, discovery, and connection. Their story continues to unfold, fueled by a passion for music and a shared commitment to bringing people together through every note they play.
