Review:

At Sutton’s Open Mic in Carrollton, GA, Pazi Steklo & Company lit up the room with Sunshine, a track that feels less like a song and more like a lifeline. In a set often defined by scars and confessions, this one is pure uplift—a reminder that even in the rain, there’s someone who can pull you back into the light.

The lyrics are direct, almost childlike in their simplicity: “If you’re there depressed and blue / Call my friend, she knows what to do.” But that simplicity is the point. It’s a mantra, a communal chant, a way of saying that joy isn’t complicated—it’s shared.

Steklo’s vocals carry a mix of sincerity and grit, the kind of delivery that makes you believe he’s singing about a real friend, not just a metaphor. His guitar work is bright and uncluttered, leaving space for Will Lester’s guitar to shimmer like sunlight breaking through clouds. Sal Fisher’s bass provides a steady warmth, while Jacob Clouse’s drums keep the groove buoyant, pushing the track forward with a pulse that feels like optimism itself.

The performance, balances intimacy with myth. Sutton’s small stage becomes a sanctuary where light is conjured not by spectacle, but by repetition and belief.
