Treneti Brown

Vocalist, Bassist, Intuitive Musician

Born and raised in inner city Chicago, Treneti is a living embodiment that a lotus can be grown between the cracks of broken homes and concrete streets. Treneti’s first path of artistic soul expression was professional dance, she choreographed, performed and taught movement from 11 to 27 years old. She studied dance at Columbia College Chicago and went on to develop her own technique of somatic, sonic and psychic awareness for holistic healing called Geometric Configuration Technique. To Treneti music and dance are not separate they have and always will be one movement. Treneti creates music for the body, mind and spirit with dance always in mind and see’s her soul expression as a contribution to the reunification of the forms.

Treneti is an international touring artist and has been blessed with the opportunity to share her soul expressions in many transformational music festivals in North and Central America. Music began to rise to the forefront of Treneti’s expression in late 2016 at the beginning of her Saturn Return, She received the call from The Divine to let go of her old identity and to step on the path of her Soul’s Mission fully and share the sacred songs she had been receiving from Gaia, the Star Nations and Ancestral Realms with the world.

Her musical awakening was an intuitive journey of sacred remembrance, soul retrieval and deep healing of emotional trauma. Like a phoenix she rose into her power  learning her voice and her instruments by spending her time in the forest merging with Gaia, listening to the frequencies of the land, studying the fractals of the plants and mimicking them with her vocal chords and in patterns on her bass. Treneti’s journey has felt nothing but divinely orchestrated and the miracles continue to flow, opening the doors to allow this music to touch more and more hearts each day.

Broth

Broth, founded in 2017, is built off the passion and dreamscape of Christopher Blondeau, lead vocalist and keys. Following the way of the “Tao”, Broth is a kailedescope of sound; by combining synth, bass, horns and drums you are presented with a cross-genre euphony. Somewhere between indie, synth-pop, alt-r&b and raggae, Broth just makes you dance. There’s one goal in mind, to bring back the heart of live music to the mainstream. At age thirteen, Chris saw his dreams unfold behind a towering Gerald Way, performing his concept album “The Black Parade” with the cult-classic band, My Chemical Romance. The impression has followed him to today, where he’s set out to find like-minded artists to play the music he’s always wanted to hear. Since his first concert, he’s seen 100s of legendary live acts such as Tom Petty, Jack White, Neil Young and the Promise of the Real, Robert Plant and Elton John just to name a few. By his side at many of them is co-vocalist and partner, Katie Wise, who was inspired to join his mission.

What began as essentially a goof – a chance to throw down some familiar dancy beats and jam for whoever felt like listening – ultimately lit a spark under the off-the-radar powder keg of Phish fans in the Portland, Oregon music scene.

More time was spent talking about the possibility of putting a Phish tribute together than actually practicing, prior to their first performance at local basement pub The Goodfoot Lounge, in February of 2012. Expectations for attendance were moderate at best, yet before the band played the first note, there was a line out the door, culminating in a jam-filled celebration of the music of Phish to an over-capacity crowd!

The demand for a repeat was high, and Shafty was born. If there’s a motive, it’s to recreate the energy of a Phish show, with the attitude of playful band-audience interaction at the forefront and sharp musical skill acting as a behind-the-scenes glue to hold it all together.

Classic Phish gimmicks are in full force: trampolines, megaphones, choreographed dances, vacuum cleaner solos, instrument switching, and the secret language are alive and well at a Shafty show.  

The band’s songlist is growing strong. Now at a staggering 290+ songs, the repertoire includes brand new Phish material such as “No Men In No Man’s Land,” “Blaze On,” “Mercury,” and more.   A notable  “Story of the Ghostbusters” mashup made news on JamBase.com, and the usual hijinks of slicing, dicing, and unpredictably rearranging songs continues. Throughout 2014 the Oregon band expanded to Montana, Idaho, and Washington, as well as touring to California and Nevada in 2015.    As Phish’s repertoire continuously grows, Shafty mirrors that growth – with recent additions from Halloween 2018, and Trey’s 2019 project “Ghosts of the Forest”.

It is not uncommon for the band to perform weeklies at The Goodfoot Lounge, where they’ll perform for up to nine Wednesdays in a row without repeating a single Phish tune, thus providing a fresh concert experience for the diehards who attend week by week. These weeklies have helped create the telepathic musical chemistry between the band members, as well as providing the motivation to learn as many songs as possible to please the fanbase.
