Search - The Sunset Band :: Tropical New Year's Party

A festive atmosphere, a tropical paradise, people dancing in the sun, and parrots in trees - does it make you think of a traditional New Years Eve celebration? Probably not, but that's OK. After you listen to Tropical New Year's party by the Sunset Band you will... with their take on classics like Auld Lang Syne and others, they bring the islands to the mainland. Gone are the arctic winds and blowing snow, sonically replaced by trade breezes and shifting sand. Sound familiar? It should - this is a companion piece to Island New Year's Party by The KJ Allstars. The Sunset Band is actually a spin off of the original group, formed by Kenny Jackson and his cousin, Lucius Whitfield, . Originally a ska band, they have matured musically to the point where most of their music is mellow, but played so skillfully you cant believe it is not session players behind the sound. One listen will make you want to come back again and again, just like the islands themselves.
