PREMIERE: The Mighty Calm Bring Us Sounds of Summer

After the deep freeze we had this week in Nashville — seriously, this trash weather is absurd, even for my native Northeast in January — let’s give ourselves a chance to thaw out.

Fortunately for us, The Mighty Calm have just the thing to chase our winter blues away.

Titled “Boardwalks,” this hazy, sun-kissed surf rock instrumental will bring you the feeling of warmer days. The trio — consisting of percussionist Jonathan Moore, bassist Alan Fernald, and our good friend Andrew LaVogue on guitar — crafted “Boardwalks” to “feel like a sunny day at the beach, watching the surfers.”

“This song originated about a year ago when Jon and I were jamming on some ideas I had,” LaVogue said. “We worked out the kinks and then brought Alan on, who added a whole new layer to the song with his bass part.”

Don’t worry; summer will be here soon. In the meantime, take a stroll on these “Boardwalks.”
