Nero Simon and the Sunsetters
Embark on a musical journey to paradise with Nero Simon and the Sunsetters, an eight-piece Trop Rock band from Atlanta, Georgia performing a mix of Folk, Rock, Funk and Americana with an unmistakable island vibe. With a style that gives a nod to the soft sounds of the 70s and 80s and the Yacht Rock era, the Sunsetters’ energetic live performance, featuring a blend of original music and solid gold covers, is destined to find a warm, sunny place within the heart of every listener. Listen to the songs. Classic, timeless yet somehow still modern. Songs that make you want to dance, sing, laugh and sometimes cry. A treasure chest of pure, simple honesty. Real music that rides like the wind. The story of Nero Simon begins in South America with immigrant parents. Born in New York City, raised in Fort Lauderdale, Nero would spend summers as a teenager traversing the Florida Keys, breathing the salty air and taking in the lucidity of his surroundings, from Miami to Islamorada to Key Largo to Bahia Honda across the Seven Mile Bridge all the way south to Key West. From the lovingly heartbreaking song ‘Treasure Chest’, to the sweet harmony-laden ballad ‘Baby It’s Goodbye’ and the true-crime on the high seas saga ‘Starboard (Escape to Cozumel)’, Nero’s music is a reflection of the pleasurable atmosphere of this region. His music can be described as soft, folksy Americana born and raised in “los cayos.” Airy songs about love and adventure, reminiscent of the timeless soft rock classics of the 70s and 80s, but relevant and meaningful to music listeners today. When you spend time with Nero Simon and the Sunsetters you will, in the words sung by the great Levon Helm, “feel no pain, true as blue, right as rain.” Nero Simon and the Sunsetters released their debut full-length album Treasure Chest on March 18th,2022.
