Walter Harris

Walter Harris has been with THE SHIFT since 2018, first on bass, and now on electric guitar. He grew up in the backwoods of Western Massachusetts. Walter picked up guitar at the age of sixteen and a bass a year later after hearing "Nothing's Shocking" by Jane's Addiction. He moved to Washington in 2001 and has been involved in the local music scene ever since, performing as a professional musician and working his magic in the sound industry.

Casey Greenspane

Casey Greenspane has enlivened THE SHIFT’s rhythm section since 2022, first as a percussionist and now as the lead bass with over thirty years of experience. Long-time locals to Port Townsend may recognize him as the teenager who spent two years with a djembe strapped on, playing as he walked around town. Casey’s influences span many fusion genres, especially funk metal, psychedelic and prog rock. He hears the sound of an instrument as a language and finds many percussive instruments have an especially unique sound. Learning to speak that language is an interest Casey has always possessed and a skill he’s adept at sharing.

Kyre Peters lives for music. Between producing, composing and playing live, his energy brings a breath of fresh air to THE SHIFT. He’s been a drummer for over 20 years, playing about every genre, from marching to metal music, and everything in between. It shows! In his downtime, if he ever leaves the recording studio, all he really wants is to make everyone laugh and have a good time.

She enjoys numerous dance outlets including fusion, ballroom, aerial silks, and burlesque, and is excited to now be part of the band! She is an enthusiast for costumes and all things glitter!
