Artist History Started in 1992 playing bars in Tucson AZ, and we met our end in 1994 when half the band moved out of town. Reformed shortly thereafter in Boston as a studio band, added a keyboard player, and started recording. We became known as A VIVID SUN in June of 2000 after our first name was found to be in violation of a registered trademark. Currently in the studio working on our third CD, to be released December 2000.
