Bio
Summer Survivors is an American Reggae Rock band based in Sarasota, FL, which was formed in February of 2013 by Paul King and John Widmann. They started out with their love of music and two guitars, realizing that making great music is their souls’ passion. John and Paul began writing songs that Summer Survivors found the perfect blend of people who share the same vision, goals, and ideals. This did not happen overnight, however, with hope on all horizons, and a lot of dedication and hard work, the band now has an amazing following. With their current lineup, they are enjoying a great deal of success and acclaim.
Summer Survivors combines a Reggae feel with the deep bass of funk, the driving drums of rock n’ roll, and the surreal sound of psychedelic and groovy southern rock guitar with just a hint of ska and punk thrown in. Whether performing an original or a cover, they’ve got an original sound full of good vibes sure took on a life of their own which seemed to craft their own sound.
Summer Survivors released their first EP Wastin’ Away in August of 2014 with Sage Recording Studios.
The band is currently playing live shows around Florida and working hard in the studio on their first full length album due to drop January 2016.
