Magic City Hippies

Miami trio delivers a mosaic of poolside grooves and lingering, sun-kissed melodies.

Shades on and shirts unbuttoned, this trio generates the kind of heat that could’ve powered a high-seas yacht party in the seventies or that might shake a Coachella stage next summer. Embracing everything from AM radio rock and poolside pop to nimble raps and salsa, the trio— Robby Hunter, Pat Howard, and John Coughlin— locks into an era-less vibe with no shortage of funk or hooks. These are the kind of bangers you can play on the way to the party, during the party, and to smooth over the comedown as the sun comes up.
