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.
