 REDSHIFT'S CORE IS MADE UP OF GARY SKOPICK ON ELECTRIC GUITAR, AND JON MARU ON FRETLESS ELECTRIC BASS. WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER AS A MUSICAL TEAM FOR 10 YEARS. WE BEGAN AS AN INSTRUMENTAL BAND FOR 6 YEARS, TRIED VOCALISTS FOR 3 YEARS, AND HAVE COME FULL-CIRCLE, BACK TO ALL INSTRUMENTALS. LAST JUNE, DRUMMER STEVE BLANK JOINED THE BAND. AFTER JUST A FEW WEEKS, IT WAS IF HE HAD BEEN WITH THE BAND FOREVER. HIS STYLE AND PLAYING ABILITY WORKED PERFECTLY. STEVE ALSO BRINGS A TALENT FOR DIGITAL RECORDING, AND HAS HIS OWN PRODUCTION COMPANY CALLED MINDFOOD PRODUCTIONS. IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE CD "ANOTHER PLACE" WAS RECORDED AND RELEASED. WE HAVE OVER 130 ORIGINAL SONGS. IN 1987 GARY WAS GIVEN A SPECIAL COMMENDATION AWARD FROM GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE, FOR HIS SONG SUGAR RUSH. WE HAVE RECENTLY RE-RECORDED IT FOR OUR CD "BIG SKY". WE HAVE PLAYED CLUBS IN CHICAGO AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. WE ARE MORE A CONCERT BAND, AS OPPOSED TO A BAR BAND. |
 OUR MAIN INFLUENCES ARE WIDE AND DIVERSE, JEFF BECK, PINK FLOYD, STEVE VAI, BLACK SABBATH, ULI JON ROTH, JOHN COLTRANE, ZAPPA, RUSH, FRANK GAMBALE, SANTANA, PAGE, ERIC JOHNSON, SATRIANI, MAHAVISHNU, AND JIMI HENDRIX. EVERYONE WHO HEARS US MENTIONS A DIFFERENT STYLE. WE ARE TOTALLY UNIQUE, AND HAVE CREATED A STYLE ALL OUR OWN. |
 OUR 2 LATEST CD'S ARE "ANOTHER PLACE" , AND "BIG SKY". THEY CAN BE LISTENED TO, DOWNLOADED, OR PURCHASED AT WWW.MP3.COM/REDSHIFT. |
