Sunshine Collective

It’s summer, so you might guess that Sunshine Collective should have something good for your ears. And yeah, it’s true, their first album, Wanna Play?, is all you need for a sunny day. Singer-songwriter Stephanie Richards and composer-songwriter-producer Brian Arbuckle part the clouds with tunes like “You Know” and “LA (Beautiful Day.” It’s a pretty simple album, with a simple sound, but sometimes that’s all you need to put a smile on your face. If that’s what Richards and Arbuckle were going for, then they’ve succeeded admirably.
