A lot of songs, when presented in their original or most popular version, aren’t always the most appropriate for a beach bar. “Titanium” by David Guetta, while perfect for the dance floor or late at night at a beach club, might drive away your patrons if you started playing it at your favorite beachfront dive. That’s where singer/songwriters come in. Once they put their stamp on a song, it can be bottled up, packaged and shipped to your nearest beach bar for immediate unveiling to the masses. Their versions will inevitably help the time crawl by as endless sun seekers stick around in anticipation of finally spotting the “green flash.”

Following are some of my current favorite singer/songwriter covers including the amazing Jasmin Thompson who sounds like a young Adele. What are your favorites? Let me know and we can lime away the afternoon together!
