Experience the Resurgence of Soulful Melodies with Star Light Mountain, a Testament to Timeless Music
Amidst the vast landscape of the music industry, where the echoes of Classic Rock, Rock and Roll, and Soul Rock resonate with the spirit of yore, Ari Joshua’s Raar Trio emerges as a formidable force, rekindling the flames of a nearly forgotten era.
Their latest single, “Star Light Mountain,” is not merely a song; it’s a journey back in time, reminding us of the rich tapestry of sounds that once defined the essence of American music culture. Hailing from Burlington, VT, this band is here to remind us that real music – the kind that stirs the soul and sets the heart ablaze – is far from extinct.
“Star Light Mountain” is a rocking track that not only showcases the band’s incredible talent but also features some all-star action, making it one of the most explosive tracks to come from the ambitious goal of releasing 24 singles in 2024.
The involvement of Ray and Russ, seasoned members of The Trey Anastasio Band and consociates of PHISH’s leader Trey Anastasio, adds a layer of mastery and authenticity that is hard to find in today’s music scene.
