Origin

Sundy Best is formed by two friends since elementary school, Nick Jamerson and Kris Bentley, from Prestonsburg in Eastern Kentucky. Both were athletes in college, with Jamerson playing football while at University of Pikeville where he studied English, and Bentley played basketball at Centre College in Danville where he studied history. They formed a duo after college, and moved to Lexington, Kentucky in August 2010. Jamerson performs as the lead vocalist and plays the guitar, with Bentley on the cajón drum. Their name refers to the way they pronounce "Sunday best", their best clothing worn in church where they began playing music together on Sundays during their senior year in high school.

Music career

In their first year as a duo, Sundy Best produced an album, Tales, Lies and Exaggerations, which was a demo recorded at home. In December 2011, they raised $15,000 through the crowd-sourcing website Kickstarter to fund their first studio-recorded album. The album, titled Door Without a Screen, was released in the summer of 2012. They were then signed to the E1 Music music label which released a deluxe version of the album on August 27, 2013.

2014: Bring Up the Sun and Salvation City

Sundy Best recorded their next album, Bring Up the Sun, which was produced by RS Field. The album features 15 songs, including remakes of previously recorded songs, "Home," "Lilly" and "These Days." The video for "These Days" was released on 11 November 2013. The video for their lead single, "Until I Met You", was released on February 12, 2014.

Bring Up the Sun was released on March 10, 2014. The album reached No. 11 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and No. 70 on the Billboard 200 in its debut week, with 5,000 copies sold in the U.S. for the week.

Their third album Salvation City premiered on Rolling Stone on December 1, 2014, and was released for sales on December 2, 2014. The album debuted on the Top Country Albums chart at No.22.
