Open Road Folk Music ‘Summer Days’ Review: Breezy Fingerpicking, Close Harmonies
Open Road Folk Music’s Summer Days is a two-minute folk vignette that drifts in, smiles, and slips away.
Released 15 August 2025 via Tim Janis Ensemble, Inc., built on fingertip guitar and soft, close harmonies, it carries that breezy, afternoon-with-a-friend ease the title promises.
The lyrics sketch sunlit snapshots, “open as the breeze… pines beneath our feet… starlight,” keeping the imagery simple and tender so the feeling lands first.
SummerDays sits neatly alongside the duo’s nature-forward writing we’ve featured before on Neon Music, from the flowing quiet of “The River Song” to the gentle glow of “Moments Like This.”
Small, warm, and replayable, “Summer Days” is an easy addition to any unhurried playlist with someone you like being around.
