Artisan Music Reviews: Lilac Skies - Shambhu

Takes a goodly portion of jazz, add a little R & B, include a modicum of contemporary music, shake it up a bit and chill slightly and you end up with an amazing upbeat album by talented guitarist and composer Shambhu and his friends. It is called Lilac Skies. What gives the eye and the heart more pleasure than a lavender sky to start a day? Lilac skies at night perhaps. In either case, the fourth release by this jazz style guitarist is ten tracks of mellow music guaranteed to

Sleeping Bag Studios Review - Shambhu - Lilac Skies

He’s enjoyed a great amount of success in the New Age music-community and gained a faithful following of fans that appreciate the smooth textures & tones Shambhu is capable of creating so well. “Lilac Skies” is a much more decisive shift into Jazz for sure, but it’s a welcome move that will likely not only please the massive crowd of existing fans he currently has, but creates a whole new opportunity through this crossover cut to invite a whole bunch more new fans into Shamb

Indie Band Guru: Shambhu Helps Us Look to the Lilac Skies

Too often in today’s fast-paced world we are entertained and excited by much of the music we hear and we fail to enjoy the true beauty of music. Pop music has become littered with fast, attention-grabbing noise. But we can still find beauty in sound if we expand open our hearts and ears to new styles. Our friend Shambhu (who we interviewed in the past) keeps our mind at ease with his beautiful jazz guitar songs. The acclaimed jazz guitarist and composer is an expert at transf

New Age Music Reviews: Lilac Skies

Shambhu is a word that has many different meanings. In this case, we have to lean towards the spiritual essence of things. This Shambhu is a musician that creates some incredibly good music. On April 12, 2019, he will release Lilac Skies. The title also holds meaning for the artist, which is infinite love. One look at the cover and you can feel the warmth, beauty, and the lovely smell of that flower when it blooms. It actually has always been one of my favorites, especially t

REVIEW: MainlyPiano.com - "Lilac Skies"

Lilac Skies is the fourth album from award-winning composer/guitarist Shambhu, and what an incredibly good album it is! Something of a hybrid of new age and jazz genres, the overall vibe of the ten original tracks is relaxed and upbeat. The title itself means “infinite love” - “Lilac” is the color of love and “Skies” are the infinite and endless possibilities. Shambhu sums it up well in this quote: “This music is dedicated to lifting us up inside. Relax, groove, dance, enjoy

The Recording Process - A Thumbprint as a Song

The process of discovering a song is like activating the Apple ID Thumbprint reader with my finger. Over the course of a few minutes, the detail of my thumbprint is registered with my device and my ID is fully realized. A song emerges for me in much the same way. For me a musical composition already exists inside silence; I have to explore silence to find it. That requires showing up mindfully for a 'practice' session, or a 'meditation'. As I play a song idea over and over,

Changing Strings

How many times have I changed guitar strings? There’s always a feeling of renewal. The songs that came through the former strings are thankful. And the guitar, itself a living being and participant, is quite thrilled. I am playing today at Milagro Winery Tasting Room (1pm) where I’m gonna discover new tones in this guitar that new strings magically enable. The overtones and harmonics they shoot off will captivate my ears and inspire me to listen ever more deeply. Playing ex
