Guitarist Shane Parish of the avant instrumental jazz-mathpunk band Ahleuchatistas, is also an educator, arranger, composer, and podcaster. Lately, as a solo artist, he has mined the world of folk music – specifically “weird old Americana” and  “traditional music filtered through one guitarist’s non-traditional subjectivity,” (Bandcamp)

Shane Parish's most recent musical adventures on a new record called Liverpool are based around spacious, moody, unexpected arrangements of sea shanties for electric guitar and looping station. As he explains, the sea shanties happened to be a tangent of his podcast covering the Liverpudlian band, Echo & the Bunnymen. Now based in Athens, Georgia, Parish treats us to some remote performances of these tunes.
