“SUNNY SIDE UP”
New ALBUM out now!
We’re delighted to announce the release of Sunny Side Up, our most optimistic, bright-eyed album yet!
Folky, easy-going and playful, this seven-song collection finds beauty and brilliance in the familiar: hangin' laundry on the line, dandelions in the wind, the comfort of a home-cooked breakfast.
A sweet duet with my friend Laurie Berkner and the masterful guitar work of Matchbox Twenty's Matt Beck add sparkle to the perennially positive sounds of the Little Band That Could.
The title track was inspired by my sunny mother-in-law Grandma Jody: now 92, she still greets each day with a smile. "Sunny Side Up" sets the tone for an album that encourages us to embrace and savor the joy in the everyday.

Lyrics by Brady Rymer; Music by Brad Rymer, Seth Farber, Larry Eagle
When you’re kind, when you’re kind
It’s like a sun within you shines
And fills the world up with light
You fill it up so warm and bright
When you’re kind
When you’re kind, when you’re kind
It’s like a gift you give so fine
Like a seed or a song, it grows a little bigger as you pass it on
When you’re kind
When you’re kind, when you’re kind
There’s a meadow up in your mind
Flowers dancing on the breeze
Singing birds and buzzing bees
When you’re kind
A simple way and simple words to live by
To help us on, help us our way
A simple way and simple words to live by
To help us all, help us feel ok
When you’re kind, when you’re kind
It’s like a trail that you find
Through the brush and the thorns
Through the rain and the storms
That’ll lead you back home
When you’re kind
A simple way and simple words to live by
To help us on, help us our way
A simple way and simple words to live by
To help us all, help us feel ok
When you’re kind
