Picture gentle breezes, the sound of water in motion, abundant sunshine above swaying trees, a cool drink and happy music.  Idyllic settings can be fleeting, but Peter Evans and Vanessa Silberman have created a sonic spot that will take you back to your blissful place every time.  Written in Venice Beach, CA, the song celebrates the edge of the city where it meets the beach; a zone where  transient “pigeon men” perch on benches, play music, and engage passers-by.

A joyful tribute to Jimmy Buffett, “Beautiful Day” is flavored with a Caribbean jambalaya of instrumentation.  Drew Nugent takes center stage with his coronet, blasting out notes of pure joy and exuberance.  A solid bass and drum kit combo supports layers of vocal harmony, harmonica, marimba, guiro, and guitar licks.

So grab your sandals, put on your headphones and kick off your stress in Paradise.
