Artist Information

Biography

Orlando's own eclectic band Shak Nasti has been stirring the pot since their inception back in 2004. The group delves into several genres including funk, rock, reggae, and drum'n'bass, shaping the mix into an original, organic sound that can be felt as well as heard. The band infuses a nasty rhythmic bottom with a melodic sense on top. Dance music with depth!

Their residency at downtown Orlando's Tanquerays has produced several sit ins by well known musicians including Jeff Coffin, the fellas from Soulive, and the pedal steel genius of Roosevelt Collier of the Lee Boys. You never know who is going to stop by.

Playing up and down the east coast, Shak Nasti has shared the stage with great acts like The Lee Boys, The Codetalkers, KDTU, MMW, Dumpstaphunk, Dead Kenny G's, and several big regional acts. They are favorites at several music festivals including Waneefest, Bear Creek, Magnolia Fest, and Strangecreek to name a few.

Shak Nasti has become a go to rhythm section for recording and performance. You can hear them with Jim White, Terri Binion, Thomas Wynn and the Believers, and Kaleigh Baker.

The band's 4th cd "Jim Jackson", will be released in early June,

Instrumentation

Tim Turner on vocals and guitar

Discography

Shak Nasti's first independently released CD "From the Belly" received CD of the Year from a Band from the Songwriters Showcases of America. "From the Belly" is a full 76 minutes ranging from groove rock to reggae to drum-n-bass.

"Diddley Doo" is a four song EP, and much like an evening with the band itself, covers a wide range of styles.

"A Way Inside", released in January 2009, has a wide variety of styles and sounds for the listener. It's the best representation of the band's musical prowess and sonic explorations.

"Jim Jackson" will be out in early June. The album has a little bit of a rockin' edge with progressive influences, still holding to their funk base.
