Calla Sun is a singer/songwriter, radio presenter and educator.

 

about me

I grew up in Lower Manhattan, NYC, but I’ve also lived in Dublin, Ireland and Butte, Montana. I have since settled down in the Upper Delaware Valley, where I live in an 1840s gingerbread house on the river with my daughter, Rosemary.

 

what’s in a name?

My name is Callison Stratton, but my stage name is Calla Sun, because sometimes people have a hard time pronouncing Callison. Idk why.

Calla + Sun = Callison.

Cal - luh - sun.

Boom. Easy.

 

what i do

The music I write is rooted the American folk tradition, a blend of storytelling and poetry and natural imagery. But mostly it’s feelings. My heroes are Joni Mitchell, John Prine, Emily Saliers and Brandi Carlile.
