Stevie Simpson – Sunshine State of Mind
Living between mountains and sunshine in Spain, Stevie Simpson brings a grounded, heartfelt authenticity to his music. With a life shaped by travel, friendship, and resilience, his songs reflect both the beauty and the imperfections of the world around him.
Sunshine State of Mind, released September 1st, 2022, marks his seventh studio album — a collection that blends simplicity with rich collaboration. While rooted in Stevie’s signature mandolin-driven sound, the album is elevated by a group of exceptional musicians he’s gathered over the years.
The result is a warm, organic record that carries elements of country, folk, and soulful storytelling — honest, reflective, and unmistakably personal.
