• Bio: Mixing acoustic coastal-rock and a feel-good vibe, HEADSHINE takes you on a free spirited ride up the coast with a soundtrack of life, love and the space between. In spring 2009, a song that RAS wrote, sang and played on acoustic guitar caught the ear of major label producer Jim Perkins. Jim showed the one-take demo to his business partner Andrew Nast along with some other close friends in the music industry. For some reason, they wanted to hear more. Within a few weeks, several new songs got the green light and the project developed as drummer Chuy Vidales, bassist Erim Kardes and lead guitarist Mike Dena reunited. As soon as we got together and jammed, everything clicked. Something came alive inside and began to radiate. It was like the feeling you get when you catch the perfect wave. It is what we now call HEADSHINE.

With a fresh California sound and songs about living life to the fullest, this emerging band from Huntington Beach is earning the love and support of fans from a 15 city fall US tour. With recent concerts at Idaho State University, San Diego State University, Cal State University Long Beach, and Whitworth University in Spokane Washington, HEADSHINE is currently in the studio recording with producer Jim Perkins of J&A productions (Big B, Scott Russo, Chali Tuna, OPM, Pato Banton, Jamie Allensworth). The band has some big shows coming up and will be posting new tracks soon. For more, join us now on Myspace, Facebook or Twitter
