DOWNSHIFT started as a brain child between vocalist/guitarist Jordan Payne and guitarist Aaron Parrett. Over the course of a few years, they wrote and recorded the album One In The Chamber and set out to build a band around the project. A few times they nearly threw in the towel but, in the fall of 2022, they completed the perfect line-up and started the rehearsal process. Over the last year the band has grown musically, but even more so became a cohesive unit that builds on each others strengths. On August 5th of 2023 they 'went live' with their singles of "Lose It" with a music video and "Give It To You". The outfit are preparing to take their music to the stage and have started booking gigs for the remainder of the year and 2024.|
