BIO
Sun Dried hails from the Shenandoah Valley at the foot of Virginia\'s Blue Ridge Mountains. Formed in 1997, SDO is a 5-piece band writing songs that are true to their roots. Their music is best described as Rock \'n\' Roll, heavily influenced by Southern Rock & Blues with exciting improvs (Allman Brothers, Drive By Truckers).

The group has independently released three full-length original CD\'s. Their third disc, Back Up was released to a packed house at Clocktower Tavern in Staunton, VA on April 2nd, 2005. LA producer Andrew Alekel produced, recorded, and mixed the disc. He has worked with Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, Rancid, and many more. His expertise has yielded the most accurate portrayal of the band captured in the studio thus far.

Sun Dried has opened shows for Mofro, Heartless Bastards, Project Object, Donna The Buffalo, The Wailers, Joe Bonamassa, Carbon Leaf, Tony Trischka, and more. On August 15th, 2004 they warmed up the side stage crowd for The Dead show at Nissan Pavilion. On July 15th, 2005 they played side stage for Allman Brothers & moe. at Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheatre.

The band is renowned for their high-energy live performances. Surprise audience members have occasionally asked if they could join SDO on stage. Two such favorites are Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers Band) and Bill McKay (Leftover Salmon).
