Sun Ladders
Sun Ladders is a Brooklyn, NY, rock band getting back to the basics of being a rock band, writing straightforward songs about love, loss, escape and the bars they work in.
Sun Ladders are the songs of Rob Hampton (ex-Band of Horses) who as a kid was introduced to a diverse background of music through the late night television of 120 Minutes, his older brother's Columbia House cassette subscription, his high school years in early 1990s Louisville, KY, and his post-high school years in the late 1990s Seattle music scene.
After spending the last five years in New York and losing various collaborators (to marriage, babies, jobs, other bands and escapes from New York) Sun Ladders is now Hampton (guitar, vocals), Johnathan Swafford (bass), Alan O'Keeffe (guitar), and Christian Rutledge (drums). All veterans of the realities of playing in a rock band in New York City—where the first hurdle to playing music is the fact you live in New York City.
