Kicking Sunrise, an American soul/pop rock duo from Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey, was formed in 2013 by Joe Murphy and Mark Altamuro. The group gained initial attention with a cover video of Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie" on YouTube, leading to their own compositions. They signed with Right Coast Music in March 2014 and released their debut album Here's to the Sunrise on June 2, 2015, featuring the single "Here's to the Sunrise," which was showcased on CBS Philadelphia and TBS during Major League Baseball coverage. The duo became the house band for CBS Philadelphia, with "Here's to the Sunrise" serving as the theme song for their morning show.
