SHAKE YOUR PEACE!

' SHAKE YOUR PEACE! Presents' creates "velorutionary" concerts in scenic public places (the top of Twin Peaks in San Francisco for example), employing its custom "human powered P.A. system" where electricity for the sound-system is generated by the pedaling audience (utilizing bicycles propped up on two special kickstands and rigged with special generators), and following up its concerts with outrageous social activities such as capture the flag, ultimate frisbee, and human kite-flying. Launched with the creation of the San Francisco Bicycle Music Festival ( www.BicycleMusicFestival.com ), SHAKE YOUR PEACE! Presents is operated  for the sheer fun of it by SHAKE YOUR PEACE!, a sustainable, bicycle-touring band based in San Francisco ( www.ShakeYourPeace.com

SHAKE YOUR PEACE!

SHAKE YOUR PEACE! is a sustainable, bicycle-touring band based in San Francisco, CA. With a philosophy that it's as important for musicians to create harmony offstage as it is for them to create harmony onstage, SHAKE YOUR PEACE! tours exclusively on bicycles - recently completed a 600 mile 'rock & roll bicycle tour of Utah,' in April of 2007, and is preparing for a 5000 mile tour all the way down to Chiapas, Mexico - launching this October 2007 and ending sometime in February 2008. In the spirit of creating "harmony offstage" SHAKE YOUR PEACE! has also developed a custom pedal-powered PA system where the audience creates the electricity needed to run the sound system via bicycles, plants one tree for each CD it makes, and even runs its web site on 100% wind-power.

SONYA COTTON

Straight out of American folklore - Sonya Cotton's music plods into your ears like a beautiful hooded bank robber on a Tennessee horse, harmonies and instruments sparkling above her shoulders in small circles like specks of brown dust - rising through shafts of orange light that look like 2x4's laid through the boughs. From under the hood you hear a voice that sounds like Edgar Allen Poe meets Judy Collins meets Alison Krauss - dark hypnotic folk lyrics and sturdy country phrasing like a Carolina shack's doorframe in the summer, but ringing high and clear like a New England church bell in the middle of Winter. It's so beautiful you'd open the safe and give her all the gold.
