MP3 Simeon Flick - Reactive Soul
13 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Grunge, URBAN/R&B: Soul
Details:
"San Diego''s Simeon Flick has a new CD out, his third, that is all over the map stylistically. In fact, his MySpace page describes his music as ''Alternative / R&B / Folk Rock,'' which is probably as good a definition as exists...While a bit distracting, the thing is that every song is incredibly well-constructed; every arrangement works. And Flick is such a strong, expressive singer that the gear changes don''t faze him a bit. That confidence and ability to switch from style to style and back again end up being one of [Reactive Soul]''s strengths--the stylistic changes not only hold your attention musically, but they cause you to pay closer attention to each song to see how Flick will approach each new style." -Jim Trageser, North County Times, 9/28/06

Simeon Flick is a heritage artist on the rise, performing accessibly innovative folk-jazz, alternative R&B, alt-country and pop-rock music. He is slowly bulding a formidable reputation and a connoiseur following with his adroit musicality, soulful four-octave voice, and memorable songs with poignant, erudite lyrics.
Flick grew up listening to 60''s R&B, 70''s funk, classic rock of all decades, and 80''s & 90''s punk and alternative. He was in two vanguard underground bands in the nineties (CRUX and Sages of Memphis, the latter of which was briefly scouted by Interscope Records and had two songs placed on MTVs Road Rules), but had already begun to explore new frontiers with his solo material before arriving in San Diego in 2001. Since then he has released two pioneering solo CDs (Soliloquy, 2003 and Indigo Child, 2004), fronted the band Alpha Ray (whose song Tremore was featured on San Diego radio station 91X''s Loudspeaker local music show), has performed all over San Diego and has toured both coasts, garnering new devotees along the way.
Simeon has had the privilege of sharing the stage with the likes of No Doubt, Sublime, Fishbone, The Untouchables, School of Fish, Rocket From The Crypt, Three Mile Pilot, The Samples, The Skeletones, Skankin'' Pickle, Excel, Voodoo Glowskulls, Ozomatli, Geggy Tah, Matt Nathanson and Leftover Salmon. As a San Diego-based solo artist he has performed with Gregory Page, Steve Poltz, Earl Thomas, Tom Brosseau, Lisa Sanders, Berkeley/Hart, Anya Marina, Steph Johnson, Christopher Dale, Pete Thurston, Danielle LoPresti, Alicia Champion, Carlos Olmeda, Michael Tiernan, at the second annual San Diego Indie Music Fest with Veruca Salt, and most recently with renowned jazz guitarist Peter Sprague.
His goals are modest: To make a philanthropic living through music, and to be the soloist in the choir.
