Bringin it down!
The Downshift Band gets ‘em up and won’t let ‘em down! Great arrangements, dynamics and superb musicianship from five veteran performers equals one big time, fun band. Soulful vocals, searing guitar work, rippin' sax, blues harp and keyboards along with a thick, pulsing funk-infused rhythm section provides the basis for an authentic electrified sound.

The Downshift Band performs a mix of music that keeps everyone moving and shaking all night long! From up-tempo jump blues to slow, sexy ballads to jazz inspired instrumentals...this ensemble has the right material and the know how to keep the party jumping.
