Seven Suns
A dose of hypnotic, genre-defying fun. In 2008 Seven Suns began in Liverpool, where Erica completed her music degree before returning to Canada.
Canadian singer-songwriter keyboardist Erica Van Drunen performs a variety of styles, from progressive rock to Celtic folk, under the banner of band Seven Suns. The band performed in the UK while releasing a couple of recordings, the debut album Who Are We (2010) and the EP So Addicted (2011). Erica and Edmonton-based drummer Dave Bowden returned home from Liverpool in 2011 and reformed the band.
Here is the lyric video of a song I wrote called “Journey.” Many thanks to those involved! Enjoy :) Erica

Those who know me knows that I write too many songs. I am sincerely grateful for every musician that works with me
Yay someone got a photo :) We had a blast at the L&M Grand Opening in Mayfield. The students did a wonderful job performing too (I felt so proud, but I think their parents were even more proud)
This is going to be an amazing day, you don't want to miss this! I'm looking forward to seeing some of my kids perform too
Experience Long & McQuade in full force on June 11 for our GRAND OPENING! Join us in celebration at our Grand Opening Ceremony at 10 a.m., when we kick things off with First Nations Dancers and powwow drummers! Later on in the day you can enjoy live performances from some of our favourite local talent while you have some free food and drink.
The first 100 families that walk through our doors on June 11 will receive a $10 Gift Card! Children will get a free small instrument too! And don't worry, big kids, you have a chance to win prizes and giveaways throughout the day.
