Vocal has a bit of a Dave Gilmore vibe to it

Great tune nicely written and great playing

Great sound. Loved to have had a little more volume on the vocal. Good work. Ed and Beverly

Very pretty instrumentation and quite catchy too. This is great

BUENISIMA experiencia... y la producción muy limpia y profesional, excelente hermano 👍

Cool throwback vibe but still sounds up to date!

To Be.

Lonesome
Without you dear
Never lonely
I know you're always here
Melancholy, holly

Take
Take one last stab
Take a stab in the dark
Stab right through my heart

Sway
Sway the evening breeze
Sway
Persuade the need
Need
The need the need
Need to beleive
The need to believe
To be
To be
Oh, just be
Just be
Be
Be
Be
Just be
Be
Just be

To be or not to be

To Be

Starboard (Escape to Cozumel)
Words and Music by Nero Simon

Hey friends have you heard the news
Two runners on a midnight cruise
Stole a Thunder Cat from Galveston Bay
They fled south on an ocean getaway

They were caught in a love embrace
A jealous man with anger on his face
There was a struggle shots rang out in the night 
Out of sight and nearly out of time

Goodbye city lights
Hello paradise 
Goodbye city lights
Now we roll the dice

She was starboard on a moonlit night
White dress like an angel of light
Looking back to where they’d been
Wondering if she’d ever be free again

24 hours to Cozumel
We’ll be in heaven tomorrow
24 hours to Cozumel 
We’ll be in heaven tomorrow yeah

Starboard (Escape To Cozumel)

Verse 1
Beautiful sunset 
On a calm Friday eve
The garden keeps growing
Worked hard all damn week
Paid all my taxes
I’ll rest when I sleep
It’s time for the weekend
Turn it up & be free

Chorus
Work hard
That’s all you have to do
Every moment you create 
The futures up to you
Play hard
Each second won’t undo
Monday once again will hit
Normal rings so true

Verse 2
Unearthly sunrise
On a Saturday morn’
The world keeps revolving
Shut it out feel the warmth
Overcame spiteful demons
With only one love
Stand next to the speakers
The days almost done

Chorus Repeat

Verse 3
Quiet easy Sunday 
People tending their yards 
Peaceful in silence 
All anger wastes love
Upbeat when it’s needed
Never really frown
One week then repeat it
Don’t ask to turn it down

Chorus Repeat

Exhausting The Muse

The Time Before Too Long

We had 2 open mics mounted to the ceiling of our studio. Whenever we wanted to capture our progress on songs, we turned on the reel-to-reel. Here are some of those moments. Enjoy. (Circa early 90s)

CFB - Story Of My Life (Live)

La Leona

Embark on a musical journey into the world of Nero Simon and the Sunsetters. Listen to the songs. Classic, timeless yet somehow still modern. Songs that make you want to laugh, dance, sing, sometimes cry. A treasure chest of pure, simple honesty. Rare gems among a musical world of processed beats and auto-tune. Real music that rides like the wind.

From the lovingly heartbreaking song Treasure Chest, to the sweet harmony-laden ballad When the Lovin’s Good 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 his band now call Atlanta, GA their home base. Their debut full-length album Treasure Chest will be officially released March 2022 with the first single, also the album’s title track, slated to be released in advance.
