City of the Sun

City of The Sun is John Pita, Avi Snow and Zach Para. Two guitars, a box, some bells, and a sound that is far greater than the sum of those parts.

Their music has been called "tremendous," "powerful," "mesmerizing," "a re-invention of acoustic music," and, we kid you not, "two unicorns having sex." It's acoustic, it's instrumental. It's worldly, running the gamut from wide-screen post-rock dynamics to gypsy jazz syncopations.

Formed in NYC at the onset of the Twenty Tens, the instrumental trio has blazed a trail through NYC playing everywhere from street corners, to artist lofts, to galleries and traditional venues, to traveling the world for exclusive TEDx showcases.
