Sun Dive have quickly gained a loyal local following, with highlights playing Bend Summer Festival and drawing a large crowd at The Commons Block Party series in downtown Bend. Although only being formed in the spring of 2025, Sun Dive brings together multi instrumentalists from backgrounds playing in bands in New Zealand, Oregon and California.
Fronted by Erin Cole-Baker’s vocals and vibrato washed Jazzmaster guitar, Sun Dive creates a soundscape - at times bringing the melodic hooks, and always surrounded by ambient space echoes.
The band's sound; "Drowsy, ambling dream-pop streaked with psychedelic guitar bits and draped in a shoegaze-y haze. It’s easy to imagine as the soundtrack to a sun-baked, slow-motion afternoon spent lounging alongside friends … or maybe more than friends?" - Ben Salmon, The Bulletin/Spin.com. A sound in the realms of Slow Pulp, Crumb, and The War On Drugs.
Sun Dive also got straight to work with their collective studio experience and have already released their first two singles “Possible” and “Earthquake” with an album due to be released in 2026.

Annika Hankshaw writes folk songs with teeth. They dance along the tripped out margins of americana, rock & roll, and mythopoetic devotion. She plays lively finger-style guitar and knows deep in her heart that jackalopes are real.
