NEW CD RELEASE!
CD #3 CONVERGENCE
Hot of the press
redShift has entered its fourth year of performing and recording original music in Southern California. A group made up of musicians coming together from different corners of the country and the globe, their varying backgrounds and influences are pooled together to form a unique and authentic sound. ‘Convergence’ is the sound of four musical souls in communion with the desire to inspire and elevate. It is our hope that this sound will make your day a little brighter and more effortless.

Nada Brahma - the world is sound - originisnow.
Through our music we invite you to explore reflective meditation, human reaction, intentional creation and conscious vibrations. An opportunity to engage in authentic listening and inspired evolution and a greater awareness of our shared human consciousness. Our overwhelming need to address things visually can be balanced with the wholeness of sound – the ability to listen without distraction. Sound is everything – Nada Brahma – everything is sound. We learn to listen to our minds, our bodies, and the universe. Sound – The Origin Is Now.
Music has the power to transform our emotions, attitudes, spiritual moods, relationships, perspectives, passions and intelligence. We should support this part of music and elevate it above the goals of entertainment. Social, philosophical, psychological and spiritual changes are the groundwork for our development and growth and cannot be measured in dollars. Changing our consciousness and awakening from past nightmares to embrace deep love is the way to divert our collision course with our limits.
Influenced by Weather Report; Kamasi Washington; King Crimson; Allen Holdsworth; David Murray; Medesky, Martin and Wood; Sonny Fortune; Pink Floyd; Snarky Puppy; Jimi Hendrix; Bob Marley; Radiohead; World Saxophone Quartet; Carla Bley; Allman Brothers

Love is the Medium @ The Boathouse Collective
If we bathe our words in love, they heal. If we bathe them in anger, they hurt. If we bathe them in sadness, they weather. This Saturday we want Love to be the Medium for our music. #keepmesacool, #livemusic, #redShiftmusicworks…
