SIMO SHARE ANOTHER TASTE OF NEW ALBUM OUT THIS WEEK
In mid-2015, Nashville trio SIMO signed to Mascot Label Group and released ‘Let Love Show The Way‘, their 2nd LP in January of 2016.

The album, recorded at the Allman Brothers former residence in Macon, Georgia – debuted at #4 on the Billboard Blues Chart and garnered rave reviews and numerous national and international support. The rest of 2016 passed in a blur of headline and festival performances worldwide – with SIMO performing 215 shows in 9 countries – including the UK, Finland, Germany, Italy and The Netherlands and the United States.

Fast forward to 2017 and SIMO have announced their next full-length release, ‘Rise & Shine‘ – which sees the trio widen their sound with slow-smoked soul ballads, Stax-worthy funk rockers, psychedelic desert-rock instrumentals and hard-edged bluesy barn burners.

The latest taste of the album is the single ‘Shine‘ which you can stream below. The album is released this Friday 15th September.
