Edit history

Bayford Fullerton comprises Sumo Tsunami as the singer, John Openji on guitar while Jason has added his talent on drums and bass. John and Sumo write the songs. Sumo has sung professionally for short periods with a few little-known bands. He’s also known as Mick. The Sumo name came about as he used to be a big boy. Most of the weight has gone now, mainly as a result of extreme poverty rather than strength of will. He, as the old blues guys might say, has “paid his dues” in life experience. John has been playing guitar for a while and plays in an alternative tuning “to make it sound interesting”. Jason plays bass and drums for a living for a well known non-for-profit mental health help organization and helps Bayford Fullerton on these instruments. The band is influenced by countless artists including U2, Slash, Coldplay, Adele, Rose Tattoo, The Church, David Gray, Jason Maraz, Seasick Steve, Neil Young plus anyone with a different guitar sound – Bo Diddley etc. First album "Laughing
