The five members of GospelbeacH possess a prestigious collective resume that includes membership in Beachwood Sparks, Further, The Tyde, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals and Everest. But one listen to the quintet’s warmly wonderful debut album Pacific Surf Line will instantly dispel any preconceptions about supergroup self- indulgence or side-project slumming.

The band’s breezy tunes swim with swirling Hammond organ, soulful drumming, walking basslines and lightning guitar flashes, with the five musicians’ voices merging in rich, lived-in harmonies.

Listen to a couple of tracks below, Mick Jones, about one half of the finest songwriting partnership ever in MM’s book, and Sunshine Skyway. The album is due in October and you can pre-order via iTunes here.
