Solid Ground

Smokie

Polished soft rock with a gravelly soul. Warm 1980s production meets intricate vocal harmonies and mid-tempo melodies for a comfortable, nostalgic listen.

Find on Amazon

It's the sound of a 70s rock band finding their groove in the early 80s with plenty of heart and harmony.

A comfortable blend of road-weary nostalgia and romantic optimism.

The five minute slow burn of Everything a Man Could Need where the harmonies swell to a cinematic peak
