Sundy Best is an American country duo formed by Nicholas Jamerson and Kris Bentley from Prestonsburg, Kentucky.[1] Their music is a blend of country, Appalachian folk, bluegrass, rock, soul, and R&B.[2] They released their album Bring Up the Sun in 2014. The duo announced their break-up in March 2018.[3] Since the breakup, Jamerson continued his musical career as a solo artist. In October 2020, the duo announced that they would be reuniting.
Sundy Best was formed by two friends since elementary school, Nick Jamerson and Kris Bentley, from Prestonsburg in Eastern Kentucky.[4] Both were athletes in college, with Jamerson playing football while at University of Pikeville where he studied history, and Bentley played basketball at Centre College in Danville where he studied English. They formed a duo after college, and moved to Lexington, Kentucky in August 2010.[5] Jamerson performed as the lead vocalist and played the guitar, with Bentley on the cajón drum.[6] Their name referred to the way they pronounce "Sunday best", their best clothing worn in church where they began playing music together on Sundays during their senior year in high school.[4][7]
