Nero Simon and the Sunsetters

Nero Simon and the Sunsetters are an 8-piece folk rock group based in Atlanta, GA. The debut album Treasure Chest will be released March 25, 2022 with the first advance single 'Starboard (Escape to Cozumel)' releasing on all major streaming platforms Friday, October 22nd 2021.

Nero Simon's music is 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.

The story of Nero Simon begins in South America with immigrant parents. Born in New York City, raised in Fort Lauderdale, Nero would spend summers as a teenager working in the marinas in the Florida Keys, breathing the salty air and taking in the lucidity of his surroundings, from Miami to Islamorada to Key Largo to Bahia Honda across the Seven Mile Bridge all the way south to Key West. He now calls Atlanta, GA home.

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.”
