SHAMBHU Lilac Skies Acoustic Shine, 2019 8/10 Shambhu (pronounced SHOHM-Boo) returns with his 4th album of six string prowess, as he brings plenty of varied influences to his calming, meditative formula. “Lilac Skies” starts the listen out with light jazz sounds where crisp guitars and winding grooves fill the atmosphere, and “Unspoken Words” follows with precise picking on a dreamy, contemplative affair.

Hi Shambhu, welcome back to VENTS! How have you been? Thank you, I’m feeling wonderful as we launch my fourth album, Lilac Skies. This album took me year to create, with 10 new songs, including a few (Lilac Skies and Basis of It All) that I wrote back in high school.

After recording an acoustic album, Soothe, for my 3rd release, I wanted d

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
