Shashi's CDs
Sound of a face is Shashi's debut album, rich with the acoustic sounds
of guitar, cello, Native American flute, drums, bass, etc. Her folky,
earthy vocals weave through her passionate love for Mother Earth and all life
forms, as well as her personal experiences on this journey called Life.
Shashi is proud to have several fabulous musicians gracing her CD with their talents. David Schepps embraces the melodies and lyrics with his resonating 18th century cello; Dan Teck plays glittering lead acoustic guitar; Jan Wright's Native American flute sweetens each refrain; Jeff Rapp echoes the heart of Mother Earth on his drums; Michael O'Meara adds richness and texture with awesome bass.
TAKE A LISTEN:
Sound of a Face clip - I wrote the words to this song as a poem first, and 2 years later I was just noodling around on the guitar and wham -- this beautiful melody just popped out of nowhere. They've been happily married ever since.
Juniper Baby Clip - When I wrote this song I was climbing a red mesa in northern New Mexico, underneath a pretty hot sun. I found this little juniper tree and huddled under it, catching as much sweet shade as I could. As I rested there, this song came to me. A lively mix of drums and percussion.I Still Care Clip - Ok, I know you've been here, too. It's when you know you can't be with a certain person, but you still care deeply for them. Little bit sad, little bit hopeful, little slice of life. This song features David Schepps on cello.

I was blown away by a book I read, The Legacy of Luna, by Julia Butterfly Hill, who tells her incredible story of sitting up in an ancient redwood tree for 2 years. Her amazing courage and emotional connection with the tree moved me deeply, so I wrote this song about her journey.
Julia Butterfly - Vid
This is a story about a crazy chick who put her guitar in her car one day and just started driving. Yeah, it was me.
Letter to the World - Vid
I feel so grateful for my mother. A rose that I could keep coming back to amid the thorns of my life.
The Road Home - Vid
I wrote this about my one of my guitar heroes, Tommy Emmanuel.
Man with a Golden Guitar - Vid
I met a magical being on the top of Mount Shasta a few years ago and came home to New Mexico and wrote this song about him. He told me some things about my past, present and future. He gave me back a part of my myself and my dreams that I had lost along the way somewhere. I played this song at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and was caught on camera.
Free Feather - Vid
Most of my songs have words, but sometimes you don't need them to say what you want to convey. I wrote this song on my son's birthday. He taught me about peace.
Instrumental of Peace - Vid
A few days after my good friend, Michael, unexpectedly passed on, I wrote this song. He will always live in my heart.
Michael - Vid
CREATION SONG

by shashi
I like to paint as a fun, relaxing
sort of thing. I started this piece in Los Angeles and finished it in New Mexico.
OCEAN GODDESS
watercolor by shashi
The great thing about living in Los Angeles was that I was near the ocean and could feel her presence on a daily basis. I did this piece there. Can you see the three whales?
HOLDING HANDS
watercolor
by shashi
I was sitting on the pier at Venice Beach in California and painted this one. It must be an enchanting life under the waters.
LA CUEVA
mostly watercolor by shashi
La cueva means cave in Spanish but it also happens to be the name of this cockatiel, a rescue bird, who belonged to my friend, Cathleen. One of his favorite pastimes was pooping on people's heads. I know from personal experience.
be a love idiot
love imperfectly
let yourself forget any love ideal
