Rome Ramirez and Dustin “Duddy” Bushnell — two close friends who each have experience playing in the bands Sublime and Dirty Heads, respectively– debuted as a newly-formed duo with their first single, “And It Stoned Me.” In terms of feel-good music, Rome & Duddy have gotten off to a promising beginning with their take on the 1973 song “Lahaina“ by Loggins & Messina. Jimmy Messina was kind enough to join the duo in the studio as they reinvented his track, and the resulting cover certainly serves as a sonic getaway to the tropical haven in Hawaii referenced in its title.
