"Sailboat in the Sky" by Nathan Bryce and Loaded Dice from Missouri is a song that makes you feel like you're driving along a peaceful coastal highway at sunset with the windows down and all your worries gone. Bryce's newest album is a mix of Southern soul and honey-bourbon blues-rock. It has both a thoughtful, striking feel and a modern swagger, demonstrating that the trio can craft music that lingers long after the last note ends.
The song begins with a chord that evokes a sense of being in the midst of a murky, gritty, and classic soul song. You want to sing along and listen to it over and over again because the chorus is so catchy. "Sailboat in the Sky" is a short break, a breath of freedom in a world that often needs focus and noise. This song makes you stop, look up, and think about what it means to be alive.
Nathan Bryce plays the guitar and sings. Dylan Halacy plays the drums. Jerry Paswaters plays the bass and sings. People know the three of them for their high-energy live shows, which blend classic rock, blues, and southern rock influences into a guitar-heavy sound that is both timeless and fresh. Bryce and Loaded Dice have been Taj Farrant's backing band for three years, touring the US and other countries. Now they are fully embracing the spotlight with their own headline tours. They play a mix of thoughtful music, high-energy rock, and powerful stories that resonate with people all over the country.
Nathan Bryce and Loaded Dice give us not just one, but a temporary break, a melodic ray of sunshine, and a reminder that a song can sometimes lift our spirits.
