SunDown47’s Steve Drymalski is more than just a singer, songwriter, front man, tour manager, lighting technician, and music fiend… he’s also our guest on Season 03, Episode 11 of “Load-In Through the Back!” 

A life-long lover of music turned band member, Steve’s first life in the business came as a lighting technician and production manager for esteemed artists such as Soundgarden, Aerosmith, and Pearl Jam.

When COVID-19 shuttered the music industry, Steve took a decades-old collection of songs into the studio and completed his debut album under the moniker SunDown47. Shortly thereafter, that passion-project of a record fell into the lap of country music megastar Zach Bryan and was accompanied by a contract to open his forthcoming stadium tour. 

Steve joins us to discuss the new album’s inception, siloing his skills and creativity across nine lives in the music business, John Denver, a pivotal phone call from Neil Young, those pesky blue spot lights, and much more. 

SunDown47’s debut album “Along for the Ride” was released on September 12th, 2025 and is now streaming across the web.
