MON­TAGS 1133 BRUCE: SHA & JA­MES GIL­LIGAN

SPECIAL: Ronin Rhythm Records presents BRUCE, the new band of Sha and James Gilligan, Album Release Show!

BRUCE ARE BERNESE BASS CLARINETIST AND SAXOPHONIST SHA AND AUSTRALIAN PEDAL STEEL GUITARIST JAMES GILLIGAN. THE TWO MUSICIANS HAVE BEEN ARTISTIC FRIENDS FOR MANY YEARS, BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE HOT SUMMER OF 2025 THAT THEIR DUO TOOK SHAPE IN SHA'S SOMEWHAT COOLER BASEMENT.

GILLIGAN RADICALLY BREAKS EXPECTATIONS IN HIS APPROACH TO THE PEDAL STEEL - WITH HIS UNIQUE UNDERSTANDING OF SOUND THAT TRANSCENDS GENRE BOUNDARIES, HE OPENS UP NEW MUSICAL SPACES. IN COMBINATION WITH SHA'S PERCUSSIVELY SMASHING BASS CLARINET SOUND, A SURPRISING AND CAPTIVATING SOUNDSCAPE EMERGES THAT DEFIES SIMPLE CLASSIFICATION.

BRUCE THRIVES ON THE SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION OF ROLES BETWEEN THEIR INSTRUMENTS: BASS AND MELODY FUNCTIONS SHIFT FLUIDLY, INTERWEAVING, DISSOLVING AGAIN, AND THUS CREATING AN ORGANIC, DYNAMIC MUSICAL STRUCTURE. THE DUO USES THIS FREEDOM TO SHIFT, CONDENSE, AND CONSTANTLY REINVENT LAYERS OF SOUND—A MUSICAL CONVERSATION FULL OF ATTENTIVENESS, DEPTH, AND UNEXPECTED TWISTS.
