Greeting,
“Shift has been an active part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Celtic music scene for the last three years. All members of the band have a background in traditional music and lend their talents to this trio's exhilarating blend of tunes and songs.”
There's
a link there to a Celtic radio station that is
playing our CD and apparently, if you request tunes and add them as
favorites,
we get more airtime! So, if you're so inclined, check out http://www.celticradio.net/
If
you are among the many myspace people out there fell free
to be our friend.
Driving
reels, melodic jigs and
heartfelt songs.
Shift has been an active part of
the Dallas-Fort Worth Celtic music scene for the last two and half
years. All
three members of the band have a background in traditional music and
lend their
talents to this trio's exhillarating blend of tunes and songs.
Jason Huntley's fiddle rips and
roars through fast-paced instrumentals, while taking on softer,
melancholic
tones for slow airs and songs. He gives voice to songs that range from
rousing
pub sing-alongs to love-lorn bluegrass numbers.
The guitar playing of Emily
Bryant provides the rhythmic undertone, both fast and slow, that sets
the mood
for the band. Her vocals feature a warm, low, folksy sound that
compliments
songs, both old and new.
The percussive rhythms of the
traditional Irish bodhran are brought to life by Scottish drummer Craig
Scotland. Not only does he keep up with Jason's fast paced fiddling, he
keeps
the crowd going with jokes and banter throughout the night.
From pub to
festival to party.
Shift can provide entertainment
for a variety of folk-oriented venues. In pub settings, the level of
the band's
energy can match that of the crowd's and likewise, can blend into the
background for quieter engagements like weddings and parties. Their
repertoire
covers the Celtic musical traditions of Ireland and Scotland as well as
American
Old-Time and Bluegrass.
