World Voice
Honest and Unfiltered
By John Tenting

The Jade Sholty Band is based in the midwest and the flavor is evident in the music. Sholty's voice is energetic and warm. In addition to her vocals Jade Sholty plays the guitar and flute. Backed by a strong band consisting of (Larry Masnovi keyboards), (Jeff Fite, drums), (Chip McCall, Rhythm Guitar), (John Tow, Bass), and (Chris Moore, Lead Guitar). The debut release, "One Breath at a TIme" is a strong collection of catchy songs with well written lyrics. Jade's lyrics, more than not, take on a story form and that's a good thing. Her vocal delivery feels personal and truthful. She sings with a smile and that smile is contagious.

The title track is a fine example of Sholty's abilities.

In the Contemporary Christian world it's necessary to deliver a message that can build hope in the weakest of us. This song does that. I know someday the pain will fade and I have to carry on But, a new day can feel like too much, when a minute feels so long And now Lord, I am asking You You've gotta help me, help me make it through And You say, Just one breath at a time Put Your hand in mine And everything will be alright One breath at a time lyrics Jade SholtyT he uplifting "Hero" is on 55 radio stations and counting. It's a foot tapping faith filled song. The country influenced "Bring Me To Life" is another song in which Sholty is reaching out to her God for help. The arrangement is strong as always. I could hear this creation in any church in the country. One of my favorites on her Sonicbids EPK is "The Healing Song (On My Knees). Sholty's vocals are in particularly strong. The chorus is addictive and meaningful."Deliver Me" is another one of her radio friendly tunes. The keyboard highlights and country twang on the guitar are attractive to the ear.

Jade has the trick of dynamic arrangement down pat on this entire effort.All around The Jade Sholty Band is delivering from soul music. This music is meant for every God fearing person, children and adults. It's meaningful and heartfelt. Thanksgiving suggestion? How about some Jade Sholty on turkey day playing under your family time?
