WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF CAPTAIN SUNBEAM…

The brainchild of brothers Malachy and Conor Duffy, Captain Sunbeam released their debut album, Captain Sunbeam, Act I: The Compass of Ra, in early 2020. A space-opera set in the galaxy of the Seven Jewels, their songs capture the heart-rending correspondence between enigmatic Captain Sunbeam and space lumberjack Julian Afterjoy.

The music: Raw, galactic, gasoline space-opera energy, massive choruses, an intricate web of storytelling and lyrical prowess. Drawing inspiration from Coheed and Cambria, Meat Loaf, and Andrew W.K., their music encompasses prog, pop, punk, and hard rock. Their newest single, Overlight Anthem, was released in December 2023 and will be followed by a new EP, Songs of Orion, recorded at Zippah Studios in Boston with Brian Charles from The Sheila Divine. Captain Sunbeam has sold out local shows throughout the Boston area and is currently planning its first east coast tour.

The story: The Afterjoy Sequence, a YA fiction trilogy about Julian & Sunbeam’s exploits, is currently in production. In book one, Captain Sunbeam & The Compass of Ra, the inner and outer rims of the galaxy are at war, fighting over limited supplies of Nectar as each planet vies for control and influence in an age where the Lifesun itself has begun to fade. In this epic and hilarious saga, only YOU can save the Seven Jewels from certain destruction, and welcome the return of the creator - Orion. Join forces with Julian Afterjoy, Kimmy Starfossil, the Three Dolphin Princes of Taz-Abalone, and Luther Overlight to uncover the reason behind the Lifesun’s demise. You will trek across the entirety of the Seven Jewels, perhaps even venturing into Deep Space to solve the mystery of the disappearance of Captain Sunbeam and his infamous ship - the Lovestar.
