We at Shore Life Radio want to keep you our listeners up to date with our recent adds and our Artist's Newest Releases.............

Music... It is always a mood changer and an attention holder. Lyrics do not always need to be apart of music. Many Trop Rock Artists like John Patti, Barry Olsavsky, Tommy Cox and many others showcase their talents with just instruments. Taking you on a musical note journey. A great sax or steel pan player can help you sing the words with popular songs you know by heart. JD Edge and Emily Randall can stroke the words of a song out with their violin talents. So many instruments can lead you into the words of a popular song. What is an instrumental song that has no words, just cords and instruments? Well now that is called instrumental music. For Nick it is a way of expressing how he hears music. When you hear instrumental music play a vibe you really enjoy, it gives you the opportunity to envision your own words. Making it your song or story to the sounds of the instruments.


Nick Montou Bass player extraordinaire who has composed his own original CD. His creation is called "Dub Habitz" and his first original CD is titled "Dreaming about Tomorrow". Nick plays every instrument on this CD with help on a few songs from drummer/friend Trey Newmiller and a special Bass Duo with a guest performance from another fellow bass player Robert "Bubby" Lewis. Not really sure if there is an instrument out there Nick can't play or at least try. This instrumentally infusion of heavy bass with a reggae- dub has taken Nick five years to conform and put to tracks. The results are perfect blend of reggae sounds for the soul. The soft and at times predominate sounds of the Bass whisk you off to a soulful island escape. Keeping it clean and crisp with a touch of reggae vibe brings this cd to a full completion. You will also hear some of Nick's Louisiana jazz infused into this cd. Nick calls it a sweet blend of reggae dub.  If you are Trop Rock or Raggae fan you will find this is an easy listening side of infused reggae-dub instrumental cd. Bring yourself into this cd for a journey of sounds shared by Nick Montou. Relax your mind and have a moment of reflections.
