There is nothing better than that first fall day of the year. The air is crisp and cool, pumpkin spice lattes are the beverage of choice, and boots are worn when the temperature drops below 70 degrees. Aaah, the Florida fall.
While you gorge on pumpkin-infused doughnuts and search for leaves to crunch, enjoy the change of season (or a few degrees) with these fall-inducing tunes.
Roots & Vine by Sons Of Fathers
With deep Texas roots, Sons of Fathers is a group new to the folk country music scene. The classic, weathered voices with quick string plucks match the progression of fall season, or how quickly we want it. Close your eyes and you’re in the back of a wagon, headed to the harvest festival.
Love The One You’re With by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Released in 1970s, “Love the One You’re With” was a hit with its soulful undertones and catchy refrain. Bounce with folk rock and even look trendy with another ’70s flashback.
Riptide by Vance Joy
Vance Joy has a distinguished voice and musical style, complete with a ukulele. Epitome of cool, right? The Australian leads a mellow overtone that suits a campfire with friends.
Daylight by Matt and Kim
Matt and Kim never disappoint with whistle-able tunage. It opens with a piano, a signature style that sets up for a pre-Daylight Savings’ jam session. Just make sure you grab some z’s instead of jamming all night to this catchy classic.
Midnight City by M83
M83 is a French band with a distinguished sound# overlapping vocals, and a catchy tune. The 80s-synthesized dance hit changes seasons in the cover of the night. Though a release from 2011, it’s still quintessential for fall club-goers. Just don’t bring your pumpkin spice into Ybor City.
Settle Down by the 1975
Opening in the indie rock hit is a sensation of leaves falling- almost twinkle-like. The 1975 brings a welcome, familiarity tone that many of us feel toward these cooler months.
Another Kind of Green by John Mayer Trio
With Mayer on guitar and lead vocals, Pino Palladino on bass guitar and Steve Jordan on drums and backup vocals, this bluesy song is a good transition from Mayer’s usual pop. The transition of tones matches the change of seasons. Now only if we could leave “Your Body is a Wonderland” in a past season.
