Jim Donovan & the Sun King Warriors/Big Ship/Scott Stiert

Released last year, the self-titled debut from Jim Donovan & Sun King Warriors features the same kind of accessible alternative rock that Donovan used to play with Rusted Root, the band he helped found way back when. Songs such as “I’m Doing Fine” and “Oolalala” feature meaty guitar riffs and choruses that lend themselves to sing-a-longs. They possess a summertime feel that should translate well when the band plays the Beachland tonight. (Niesel)
