About The Artist

Located in Abbotsford

Fresh off their win as the 2023 Fraser Valley Music Awards’ Adult Alternative Band of the Year, Summer Eyes continues to ride a wave of success, playing to sold out venues and gaining international attention. Their critically acclaimed album, “Bending Towards the Sun,” released on November 3rd, 2023, quickly made its way into the National College Radio top 40 and charted for over 14 weeks.

Further amplifying their national recognition, the singles “Rewind” and “Bending Towards the Sun”, earned spots on Exclaim! magazine’s “Eh!” list, showcasing the best new music by Canadian artists.

Hailing from Abbotsford, Canada, Summer Eyes is a powerhouse trio comprised of seasoned musicians Chris Janzen (vocals, guitar), Jeff Harder (bass, guitar, keys), and Jeremy K. David (production, multi-instruments). Their sound seamlessly blends organic and electronic elements with the sounds of indie rock and synth-pop. This results in a captivating blend that shifts effortlessly between hauntingly ethereal and irresistibly danceable. Janzen’s introspective lyricism delves into themes of fear, loss, hope, and second chances, creating a powerful emotional connection with listeners.
