London Morning's associate producer, Ryan Soulliere, listens to a lot of music for his role, picking tunes for the show. In any given week, that's about 25 songs. Here are three artists featured on London Morning who are performing at Sunfest this weekend.

Digging Roots - Skoden  

If you're looking for some bluesy roots with a dash of rock, try Digging Roots. They're set is Saturday, July 5 at 6 pm on the TD Mainstage Bandshell in Victoria Park. Skoden is a good foot-stompin' example of you can expect from Digging Roots. 

Lemon Bucket Orkestra - Cuckoo

For something a bit more high energy you might try Toronto's Lemon Bucket Orkestra. Their song Cuckoo shows off the full range of dynamic voices and instruments that make up their blended sound of Balkan and Ukrainian rhythms.

Lemon Bucket Orkestra are on the Unesco City of Music stage in Victoria Park at 4:30 pm on Saturday, July 5 and they close out the night on the London Brewers Stage Sunday at 10 pm. 

Sunshine Makers - Me & You 

Busy festivals can get hectic. If you're looking for something very mellow to take the edge off, London's Sunshine Makers always bring a cool vibe. Just check out their song Me & You and let the relaxation begin.

Catch Sunshine Makers on the Unesco City of Music Stage Sunday at 5:45 pm.
