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.
