Recently, things have been feeling a little too stressful for the beginning of summer. The end of the year makes sense to be crazy due to the holidays but I've always loved the apprach of summer for longer days and warmer weather to remind me to slow down a bit. This year, it's been taking me a bit longer to try and set those roots down to go slower. The music that I surround myself with is definitely a big part of that too. As soon as I played "Sermon" by David Wimbish and The Collection," I realized that going back to my folk-loving roots might be the answer the choas that's been the beginning of summer.
"Sermon" brings a much calmer vibe than the songs in the past couple weeks I've reviewed which is always a nice change of pace. The 12th song off their next, highly anticipated album, "Sermon" sets the tone for a Lumineers or Mumford and Sons style of folk music that screams fun summer nights. The song's blend of a perfect mountainous voice with an acoustic guitar throws us into the headspace of bonfires and beaches. Something that David Wimbish and The Collection are perfect at is creating folk music that is created in the modern world but feels like it's from the era of Jim Croce and Simon Garfunkel. "Sermon" is the perfect song of the summer.
David Wimbish is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from North Carolina. After four albums and touring with their original band, The Collection, David has started a new journey as a solo artist. Stepping away from the alternative roots that drove The Collection, David has taken a different approach with the solo music which fans have been all about. With songs massing over 11 million listens on Spotify, "Sermon" brings us the warmth of summer vibes. David also has alternative versions of other fan favorite songs from previous albums so there's something for everyone.
