SHAMBHALA MUSIC FESTIVAL DROPS SHAMBHALA AT HOME: A VIRTUAL STREAMING EVENT

Shambhala Music Festival, Canada’s longest-running electronic music festival, is proud to present Shambhala at Home, a virtual festival featuring over 40 DJs, performers, workshops, and more. The digital festival will stream on Mixcloud and is free of charge. Running from July 23-25, 2020, the digital festival will run over the same weekend that the 23rd Annual Shambhala Music Festival was to take place and comes just months after the festival announced it’s postponement.

The lineup for the event was released on July 8 and features a stacked roster of talent from across the globe, as well as workshops, yoga, and more. From up-and-comers, through to world-renowned DJs, the lineup reflects a heavy push from event organizers towards booking an inclusive and culturally diverse lineup. Featuring the likes of Claptone, Clozee, Craze, DJ Jazzy Jeff and so much more, the lineup is slated to be a fan favorite with the Shambhala Family.

“We were beyond devastated to postpone the festival this year after running consecutively for 22 years, so we are delighted to put this online event together and have a way to reconnect with our guests who, after many years, are family to us.

I know our ‘Farmily’ are warriors of the heart. Together, through this event, I want us all to set the intention for next years' festival to move beyond our fear and to be a place where we can love the strangers that we meet on the dance floor.” - Jimmy Bundschuh, Festival Founder & Owner.

Shambhala began in 1998 as a grassroots gathering of 500 people on founder Jimmy Bundschuh’s family farm in Salmo British Columbia. Today, Shambhala Music Festival is still Canada’s longest-running electronic dance music festival. The independently-run music festival takes place annually on a breathtaking family-run farm in Salmo, British Columbia.  Each year festival-goers have the chance to experience the best of what nature has to offer throughout four blissful days while witnessing hundreds of world-class artists across six unique stages, each curated and run by their own stage directors.

RSVP to the Facebook Event for all the details. A full event schedule will be released closer to the event dates.

Mr. RaW

By Leave a Comment

This artist we’re about to profile is a motivated individual, who’s making the necessary moves to prosper in the world of Hip-Hop. A few years ago he packed up shop and moved to LA, where he could further his ambitions as a lyricist and get noticed. Let’s get to know this guy.

Stage Name: Mr.RaW

Birth Name: Taylor Batts

Age: 21

Hometown: Park Hill, Colorado

First instrument: Piano at age 8

Current instrument: Vocals

Genre/style: Hip-Hop

What artists have influenced your sound?

“Artists like 2pac, Rakim, Eminem, Nas, NWA, and Kanye had an impact on me. I don’t really sound like any of these artist but they motivate me to create an original sound just like they did.”

If you could describe your musical style in 3 words, what would you say?

“I wouldn’t need three words, just three letters R a W, it’s all in the name. My goal as an artist is to get better every single day, I’m privileged enough to breath. So I continue to push myself harder and harder to reach my full potential of becoming the RaWest to ever do it. To some it may seem like I am pretty far off, but if they can see where I started and where I am now they would know that goal isn’t to far fetched. My project Rebuild and Recover should help people get more familiar with my passion for music. I do what I do for my city, and I live by the motto that “Rest Is For Billionaires” (Rif.B).”

Beatz and Peaces

By 1 Comment

BEATZ & PEACES: Bowling Green, Kentucky

Scotty Tichenor & Aaron Green are the minds behind the sound.

Influenced by: Pretty Lights, Lotus, and Zoogma. 

In their own words: “Beatz & Peaces is a fusion between dub, dance, electronic jams and break beats. Influenced by many different bands and styles we bring a very technical, new and unique sound to the table. Breaking the barriers were music has to have specific genres..”

Bits and Nibbles of samples, synths, and lyrics. With a busy array of electronic and sound, Beatz & Peaces twists audio at will to create a unique playful sound. Despite the electronic feel they are musicians, playing the Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboard, as well as Vocals. They also prove that a laptop is an instrument that can be mastered.

Two Song Descriptions/ Reactions: (leave your reactions and comment below!)

Northern Lights, has an acoustic guitar intro riff that sets the tone for the rest of the song. It is a great tallent to be able to combine acoustic instrumentation to the digital spectrum of sound. 

Lost in Translation: With an eerie sounds, synths, loops, bells, bass, vocals is a airy blend of vibration. To me it is a cloudy idea presented with clarity. LFOs wobble the speaker’s face (and surly your own), while “_*^&^%_, _*^&^%__, Bang” brings you back to reality.  With sounds that resemble 90’s Nintendo 64 game sounds (james-bond or perfect dark), it has a unique feel, flow and development.

See how much fun those three people are having? It is thanks to the bluegrass infused genius that is The Infamous Stringdusters who have won my vote for ‘coolest live music’ this year so far. Not only are they a beautifully harmonized batch of country boys, but they can bring the party to Eugene, Oregon, even if it is Sunday night. A result of pure, raw talent, and a little musical melding with Drew Emmitt.

Ash Graham from New Zealand!

 

U heard it first HEAR @freioMusic

Singles by Ash Graham

Ash is a singer songwriter from the Kapiti Coast of New Zealand. He started playing guitar at 6 and songwriting at 11. Singing followed a few years later. Ash’s voice sounds far more mature than the look of his face. Ash is 17 years old and already making leaps towards his dream of exploring the world through his music.  His voice resembles Jason Mraz, Jackie Greene, Ben Harper, and John Butler.  This rising star has already been found by the local TV station (see youtube links below)

Although he has received some exposure in New Zealand, Ash has little international presence.  Thanks to the Internet, we can find amazing artists like Ash.  Ash is in a band called ‘The Avenue Eve’ and seems to be stirring up a fan base as we speak.  We, at FreioMusic, are very excited to feature Ash Graham because we know he is just getting started.  Keep up the great work Ash!  Stay tuned for more…

Ash was 3rd in the Play It Strange National Secondary Schools songwriting competition with his song Routine. It also reached the semi finals in the Teen section of the International Songwriting Competition.

Mitch Daniels from London

Mitch is a Singer/Songwriter born in Kenya, now lives in London, Britain (UK). With a mellow and uplifting folk sound, Mitch Daniels is sure to be appreciated by the classic rock fans of the world. There is something everlasting and timeless about acoustic instrumentation, and Mitch has hopped on board the eternal Acoustic Sound Train. Mitch describes his sound as “acoustic folk/pop. Influences include, Jason Mraz, Paolo Nutini, Jack Johnson, Bon Iver, and number of others” he says.  Mitch’s vision: “to work, work and work and make a successful career for myself in music. The dream is to play my own songs for crowds of people, and for them to love them as much as I do!”

Although Mitch Daniels has been on SoundCloud for only three Months, he is taking quick steps in the marketing department, and active on many social networks (see below Links).  With such a work ethic and persistence, Mitch is bound to be heard!  We are anticipating some more new music from this artist within the year.  Mitch collaborates with other musicians in the studio, but will we soon see a Mitch Daniels Band?…Perhaps Mitch Daniels Trio?…  Stay Tuned!
