About Nero Simon and the Sunsetters

Nero Simon & the Sunsetters are an American Coastal Americana and Trop Rock band formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 2021 by singer-songwriter Jorge “Nero” Simon. Blending classic rock, ’70s California folk, Americana and Gulf Coast influences, the band has carved out a sun-soaked sound built around strong songwriting, rich vocal harmonies and stories inspired by coastlines, islands, restless travelers and life near the water.

Jimmy Buffett’s music and storytelling sit at the heart of the Sunsetters’ world, but the band casts a much wider net. Their sound pulls from the same coastal highways, harbor towns, island rhythms and restless sense of adventure, while mixing in classic rock, Americana and folk.

Across three albums of original material — Treasure Chest (2022), Waveland (2024) and Pura Vida (2025) — the Sunsetters have built a catalog that moves easily between reflective storytelling, breezy coastal rock, roots music and full-band anthems. Songs including “Mermaids of Key West,” “Campeche,” “Treasure Chest,” “Lost in Perdido” and “It’s Me Or The Boat” have helped establish the band as an original voice within the Trop Rock and Coastal Americana scene.

Onstage, Nero Simon & the Sunsetters turn that sound loose. Their live shows combine original music with carefully chosen favorites from the wider world of coastal rock, classic rock and Americana, all delivered with big harmonies, plenty of energy and just enough mild coastal chaos to keep things interesting.

That spirit is at the heart of MARGARITATOWN, the Sunsetters’ concert-length Coastal Americana and Trop Rock revue. The show celebrates the music of Jimmy Buffett alongside songs from artists such as the Eagles, Bob Marley, Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, James Taylor and others, while weaving in music from the Sunsetters’ own three-album catalog.

Whether playing one of their own songs or putting a Sunsetters spin on a familiar classic, the band brings the same ingredients to the stage: great songs, strong musicianship, memorable harmonies and music designed to take you somewhere — preferably somewhere with palm trees, a sunset and absolutely no reason to check your email.
