Ricky and I put this band together pretty quickly. Things that normally take a couple of weeks, we managed to cram into a day or two. One of the hardest things to do is to name the band, and that task often takes the longest. Presumably, you'll be using this name a long time, so you better like it.

Our previous band name came about by randomly putting words together...many successful bands come up with their name this way. Screaming Trees? Death Cab for Cutie? Imagine Dragons? 

Anyway, I just found the paper in my purse with names we liked enough to write down. Here you go!

• Spaceship Panda - this was a close runner up with Sunshine Symphony
• Fur Taxi - A little too weird
• Operation Famous Burger - too much like a restaurant
• Loofah Rigno - hard to spell correctly
• Naked Quartet - Sets incorrect expectations
• Sweet Waitress - Just no.
• Everywhere Sunshine - Hmmm, you see a theme developing
• Deep Dish Sunshine - Tasty
• Sunshine Kumquat - Does anyone know what a kumquat is?
• Stealing Sunshine - This was a top contender. I still like it.
• Operation: Sunshine - Already taken by a charity
• Operation: All-Nighter - Close but not exactly a good name when you say it out loud
• Sunshine Agency - This was also a top contender. Sounds sort of like an insurance agency, though.
• Tone Agency - Again, is this insurance? 
• Operation: Tone
• Rock Doctors - Theme ideas abound with this one

What do you think? Should we have gone with one of our runners' up?
Christine Bainbridge, Sunshine Symphony

Thanks for stopping by Sunshine Symphony's web page. We're happy to be here. Here's the who/what/when/where/why of our new band.

Sunshine Symphony grows from the roots of popular local cover band She Said Sunday.  Christine Bainbridge is founding member and the creative marketing force behind that band, having provided the public relations, publicity, web site and social media management for seven years, in addition to winning awards as their lead vocalist and keyboardist.  Ricky Bell was a more recent addition in the past two years, and provided musical inspiration and tremendous versatility to the band, not only providing vocals and guitars, but also drums and keyboards. When She Said Sunday decided to make some changes, Ricky and Christine saw it as an opportunity to move beyond their former band with their creative vision.

Pair intense musical precision with a passion for performing, and a chemistry which is unmatched, and you have Sunshine Symphony.
