An intrepid explorer, Shane Philip has discovered a style of music without borders.

And, although he loosely refers to his style as west coast island rhythms, it is by no means isolated in a sea of genres. The self-taught musician plays seven instruments � usually at the same time, including the Australian didgeridoo, African djembe and Hawaiian Weissenborn guitar.

The result is, to say the least, a global fusion. �I have no limitations and that�s what keeps it really exciting for me.� Sometimes described as a mixture between folk, reggae and even electronica, the solo artist�s music is, impossible to pigeonhole. �I have a collaboration of global fusion, if you will, within my set and with the gear I use,� he said.

Philip�s music captures the spirit of his culturally and artistically diverse style and when played live has the power to possess, with which he himself is so taken.

�When people are moving I can watch them and they influence me to make certain sounds by the way they are moving. It�s like a dance we�re doing back and forth,� he said. �There�s a bonding, a sharing of energy back and forth that words can�t explain.�

This year, Shane is well on his way to releasing a new album and those who attend his show can look forward to hearing some of the unreleased tracks. Shane is also having a blast with his GoPro camera (he�s filmed and edited well over 200 videos in 9 months). Click here to check out some of what he has been up to.

Special guests: Corwin Fox, Lisa Snow, Lori Miller and Gillian Brooks
