Occasions Rock Band Heads Into the Studio: Debut Single “Mountain Man” Coming Soon

It’s a big moment for Occasions Rock Band. After years of playing high-energy cover shows across Venice, Sarasota, and beyond, we’re officially in the studio recording our debut original single, “Mountain Man.”

We tracked the song at Baysound Studios in Sarasota, FL, a legendary space where artists like the Allman Brothers, The Black Crowes, and Gov’t Mule have all left their mark. To stand in the same rooms where those iconic sounds were captured is both humbling and inspiring—and it pushes us to deliver our very best.

Why This Release Matters

For the last two years, we’ve poured our spare time into building an electric live show—learning new cover music that keeps every setlist fresh and every crowd on their feet. That focus on live entertainment helped us connect with fans, venues, and the local Venice FL music scene, and it laid the foundation for this next step.

Now, we’re channeling that same energy and commitment into creating original rock music. “Mountain Man” is influenced by classic rock legends as well as the edge of today’s alternative sound. It’s a track that we believe will resonate not just with fans of our live shows, but with anyone searching for new Florida rock bands with something to say.

What’s Next for Occasions

Recording “Mountain Man” is just the start. We’re excited to bring you more original music, more live shows in Venice and Sarasota, and more chances to grow together as a band and community.

For now, we can’t wait to share this debut single with you soon. Stay tuned, follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and keep an eye on our calendar page for upcoming shows where you just might hear “Mountain Man” live for the first time.
