SAN DIEGO, Calif. — June 2026 — Southern California beach rock band Sandollar has released “Sunny Day,” the title track from their upcoming album, featuring KBong of Stick Figure has debuted at #11 on the iTunes Reggae Singles Chart. The single is out now via Pacific Records, with the full album Sunny Day set for release on July 17.
A feel-good blend of beach rock, reggae, surf, funk, and coastal California energy, “Sunny Day” captures the uplifting spirit at the heart of Sandollar’s sound. The track pairs the band’s breezy, melodic foundation with KBong’s signature island-reggae style, bringing together two voices rooted in rhythm, positivity, and sun-soaked storytelling.
A promo video for “Sunny Day” featuring KBong is out now, with the official music video set to follow.
“Sunny Day” was written by Sandollar frontman Baron Lunbeck and produced by Brian Witkin and Donna Daly. The song offers a bright preview of the band’s forthcoming full-length album, which continues Sandollar’s tradition of feel-good music shaped by San Diego’s coastal culture.
Sandollar has built a reputation for high-energy, positive music that blends reggae, surf rock, funk, hip-hop, and alternative influences into a sound that feels distinctly Southern California. With “Sunny Day,” the band leans into the warmth, optimism, and laid-back groove that have long connected them with fans of Stick Figure, Slightly Stoopid, Sublime, Dirty Heads, and Jack Johnson.
The upcoming album Sunny Day follows the release of “Up Up” featuring Dizzy Wright, a reimagined version of one of Sandollar’s longtime fan favorites from the band’s 2013 Pacific Records debut Roller Coaster Ride. The original version gained renewed attention after being featured in the first episode of Netflix’s hit series Outer Banks, introducing the band’s laid-back coastal sound to a wider national audience.
With “Sunny Day,” Sandollar continues building momentum toward the July 17 album release, offering a new chapter that is bright, collaborative, and unmistakably rooted in the band’s beach rock foundation.

About Sandollar
Surf’s Always up for So Cal Beach Rockers Sandollar
Melding San Diego beach culture, rock, and reggae, Sandollar’s tight five-piece unit – Lunbeck, keyboardist-vocalist, guitarist Marco Rodrigues, guitarist-vocalist David Basham, drummer Henry Ortiz, and bassist Max Damkoehler – serves up a unique sound featuring good-vibe melodies, shredding rock guitar, and a soulfully tight rhythm section. Their magic is enhanced by some tasteful, mesmerizingly cool hip-hop grooves.
“My music is inspired by SoCal culture and lifestyle. We coined the expression ‘beach rock’ to describe our sound, which is a unique melding of different genres. Our songs carry the message of riding a wave and taking things as they come,” said Lunbeck, a surfer who rides waves at the legendary cliffside Black’s Beach most days.
Sandollar headlines a diverse Pacific Records festival at San Diego’s Kate Sessions Park in Pacific Beach on July 19th and will tour in support of the new album this Summer and Spring.
