About
Welcome to the website for Sunset Squirrels, based out of Northern Virginia!
Musical Stylings: We are the Sunset Squirrels, a mom and daughter duo of awesome! We play covers across all genres and decades - anything is pawsible! Our sound is indie/folk with a bit of blues and a lot of jazziness thrown in. I typically have seasonal play-lists I go through and major holiday themes, too (Christmas, Valentine's, St Pat's, Summer, & Fall). I'll always take requests and if I at least half-know em, I'll make magic happen! I also have my own original songs, check out the recordings of a few on the Media or Home page!
Background: Faith (mama-squirrel) has been playing around the Northern Virginia area for....a very long time (15+ years). Faith plays numerous instruments and sings, and grew up in Herndon, Va. Music has been a part of life since childhood, from top state flute/piccolo/Soprano, to being part of a bluegrass band, to volunteer musical events, and in recent years playing shows at various vineyards and venues around NoVa. Ana (baby-squirrel) has been playing with Faith, gradually increasing her own presence, since 2017. She now has her own host of unique instruments, and joins in some of the venue gigs, but primarily plays the open mic shows on Fridays. At some shows you might likely even see some honorary squirrels joining in the fun! We welcome all our happy squirrels, native and adopted!
