Album Notes

"Groovy music from the heart with wiggling toes." That's Caldwell Shine. Imagine the Earth - relaxed, and dancing to an infectious grass-roots vibe inside a blending of rock, jazz, jams, and a little folk. For listeners of Dave Matthews, Steely Dan, Sting, or John Mayer, Caldwell Shine is your spot for wiggling toes.

The sound of this band is rich - beginning with jazzy and very rhythmic acoustic guitar chords, caressed with Gadd-like drums and rich bass expressions. The vocals will sometimes tell a story while other times, they rhyme a catchy hook - always executed with clear and full expression right from the heart and often while searching for the melody in the harmony. Top it all off with a full sonic range of lead guitar that sometimes adds touches of Santana, Tim Reynolds, and Larry Carlton. Sometimes the band puts the beat where you expect it - sometimes it's where you don't.

This band of brothers is a living, breathing, chuckling creation led by songwriter Caldwell Shine. Together, Caldwell Shine offers the listener combined musical talents from many different genres. The music is always catchy - sometimes going on a journey - always interesting, and always packing a groove to familiar and new places.
