About the Quickshift Crew:
Canadian country music artist QuickShift radiates an on-stage energy that has audiences calling for more. Sold-out crowds are treated to a taste of that infectious energy, as QuickShift kicks it up with their own brand of having and delivering a good time. Country fans, says bass guitarist Justin Sopotyk, are what this band is all about--“Finding ‘em, getting ‘em & keeping ‘em.”
The crew’s collaborative efforts as song-writers resulted in 10 self-penned tunes on their current album, “Devil Won’t Go.” Produced by Bart McKay Productions, the album includes a number of edgy, up-tempo tunes guaranteed to keep listeners tuned in.
If you want a little bit of “urban” in your “country,” be sure to give QuickShift a listen.
