Listen to Jim ‘Soni’ Sonefeld’s “Sitting In The Green Grass (Feat. Darius Rucker)”
August 16, 2023Jim “Soni” Sonefeld has announced his new single, “Sitting in the Green Grass (Feat. Darius Rucker),” and you can listen to it below.
“Sitting in the Green Grass (Feat. Darius Rucker)” marks the first time two members of Hootie & the Blowfish have joined to record since the band’s 2019 return from 10-year hiatus, IMPERFECT CIRCLE.
“When I thought of how to give a couple of these songs new life,” Sonefeld says, “I thought ‘Sitting in the Green Grass’ was a nice message that represented a little bit of what Darius has gone through, his double career in rock music and country music, having to balance the busyness of the machine that is the music business with trying to find peace in your life as well…and so ‘Sitting in the Green Grass,’ I thought was a good fit for Darius. We’re both in a place where our kids are leaving the house, in college or done. It’s not as if we’re going out to pasture, but it is a big moment of time, this season in our lives.”
The heartfelt track is one of two special bonus tracks from the upcoming release of SNOWMAN MELTING – 15TH ANNIVERSARY DELUXE, an expanded new edition of Sonefeld’s 2008 solo debut album, SNOWMAN MELTING, arriving via Vere Music on Friday, September 29. The release also includes a new rendition of “No Reason,” featuring duet vocals from South Carolina singer-songwriter Edwin McCain.
