Redshift to take over the Treehouse

Redshift has a new regular gig at the Treehouse Café. The talented trio will now perform on Lynwood’s center stage every second Sunday.

The band is Dave Bristow on keyboards, Kurt Bischoff on drums and Neil Conaty on upright bass. All three are accomplished musicians bringing years of experience both as players and teachers to this crowd-pleasing jazz project. From standards to originals in just about any style, Redshift has garnered fans both at the Treehouse and all over Bainbridge Island.

The Nov. 13 concert features a special vocal showcase with Mark Power and Alex Taylor. Visit www.treehousebainbridge.com to see the latest concert schedule and more upcoming special guests.

Bristow was born in London and began to study music on the piano at an early age. After graduating from college, he has worked as a professional keyboard player, sound designer, electronic music consultant and music teacher.

Bischoff studied composition and experimental music with Stan Lunetta, Larry Austin and John Cage. He built and managed a recording studio in Sacramento, California and performed with the Camelia Symphony and the Sacramento Symphony until moving to the Northwest, where he played with the Richard Thompson/Harry Holbert Quartet.

Conaty grew up in New York City, playing in several New York orchestras, most notably under Pierre Boulez at Philharmonic Hall at Lincoln Center. He also performed with Ella Fitzgerald and the Elmira Symphony Orchestra. Branching out into bluegrass and folk music, he performed with many of the leading players in New York, including Marty Cutler and Charged Particles, whose tour of France took them to the Toulouse Bluegrass Festival.
