Drift

About Me

Drift is a sensory burst of musical improvisation and beautiful structure. They draw from musical influences across the board, from Funk, Blues, Reggae, Rock, Hip-hop, Electronica and Dance, combining them with a Jam band mentality. So many influences create a new and unique sound that has caught the attention of the local party scene. With their growing following, Drift is now looking to move forward into bigger venues to accommodate the hundreds that show up for the incredible Drift jam parties. Drift sprouted from jam sessions in 2006, growing into 6 unique individuals late in 2006 who are not afraid to explore various musical genres and play what they feel. The combination of guitarist Scott and keyboardist Tim come together to create the bands wide range of lyrical content. Scott brings sobering world observations to his lyrics with an angelic sound as shown in Greylings Dilemma. Tim surfs the opposite spectrum of language with futuristic visions that touch one’s imagination, and electronics drawing from the psychedelic dance party scene. Nate brings them both together with his smooth rhythm guitar and style. The rhythm section contains the powerfully eclectic and complex bass lines of Will, the precise energetic hand and auxiliary percussion of Chris, and the ever-changing rhythmic beats of Bryon’s set. Drift’s origins in the house party scene allow the band the adaptability to play any where from small houses to large venues. Drift has played outside the party scene in smaller bar venues and has rocked record store release parties. They have been inspired to play by their fans, who in turn have created DIY recordings, a Myspace profile, and the bands art and merch. With their growing positive response and fan base, Drift is enthusiastic about expanding their connections to the Colorado music scene and beyond
