Sum Rana
We are . We are a band from Jacksonville, Florida. It is hard to label us in a specific genre as are songs tend to be quite different from each other, however, they all have a single essence which defines us as Sum Rana.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Nothing interesting enough to put here.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We are currently booking as many shows as we can in Jacksonville. Jack Rabbits is a favorite, and we also enjoy playing at Harmonious Monks.
