Sunshine and Disco Faith Choir are about as iconic as The Espy Gershwin Room itself. After a big year of sold out festival gigs around Australia, Sunshine and Disco Faith Choir are bringing their signature style to the south side for three unique shows at the iconic Espy Gershwin Room.

Born in Melbourne, with a dream to impact the world, the Disco Faith Choir was the brainchild of Sunshine, one of the city’s renowned DJ and producers, who fused her infectious club-ready house and techno vision with a live gospel choir.

Come join us for a ride on the night train. A joyous journey spreading the gospel of disco faith to those whose enthusiasm lives in the hands of the music.
