Comprised of Sean Kennedy/dr, Phil Simpkun/voc-g, Shawn Taylor/voc-key, Nick Zermino/b, Jules Luna/voc/g and Sergio Sandoval/perc, The Simpkin Project delivers up traditional reggae fare, but with an extra dash of Americana. Along with chunky chords and grooves, there are some C&W harmonies on the clever “Passion” and bluesy tones with vocal and electrical effects during “I’ll Be There.” The team gets into a ska mood on “Perfect Harmony” and some hip wacka wooka guitar teams with keyboards on the title track. Both Taylor and Simpkin are strong in voice, ans sound earnest on their songs of love and hope. Satisfying for both the Rastafarian and Dead Heads.Simpkin Project: Beam of Light
