theSHIFT deliver vigorous, multi-layered rock with their debut effort, 7th Direction. The powerhouse trio’s vibrant rock n’ roll spirit is on full display with the song “Dreams”, a video for which was recently premiered by ARTISTdirect.
Watch the video for “Dreams” here:
Comprised of Shannon, MJ Lambert (drums) and Ben Geis (bass), theSHIFT come from a wide-ranging music spectrum. Shannon has recorded and toured with top-national acts like John Mayer, Lauryn Hill and Ben Harper, while also having composed music and performed guitar for comedian Louis CK’s live specials and hit FX series, Louie. Lambert and Geis’ musical roots lie deep in the world of hip hop, having backed legends Big Daddy Kane and Slick Rick.
Despite continuing to be in high-demand for session work, the trio has made theSHIFT their primary focus, determined to inject rock with the rebellious boldness lacking in today’s climate.
