   About Spontaneous Habit
"One of the most high profile original acts in town. Their music is a blend of old school jazz a la Billie Holiday and new school trip-hop, is continually evolving and dynamic."
Mark Sanders, Weekly Planet 2005

Our goal in the upcoming year is a tour to NYC along with a summer'09 tour to Europe for 2 and a half months to play 30+ shows covering Spain,Czech, Germany, France, England, and well we will be covering it all...My dummer has toured twice over there and speaks fluent German,spanish, and dables in a few others.So if you need to contact Phil I can forward your email to him.We have a lot happening so stay tuned the evolving sounds of THE HABITS..

Spontaneous Habit is a growing sound these days. They have been together for about 4 years, experimenting with different musicians from all over the world. Several articles in Sarasota's Weekly Planet and The Herald Tribune have tracked the Habit's successes and ever-changing journey. They were voted Best New Band of 2004 in the Weekly Planet, and have a podcast interview regarding their 2007 EP release with the Herald Tribune's Ticket which can be found at heraldtribune.com/tunemeon.

Currently the four unique musical backgrounds are what create this eclectic sound that gets the crowd grooving. The foundation is layered with Phil Anderson on drums and percussion whose steady rhythm explosively intermingles with the thumping grooves and space-age basslines of bassist Allen Holsberg. Rolling across the keys and sweeping pads, newest member and keyboardist, Jeremy Egglefield's acid jazz riffs give the band's sound a more groove vibe using a lead synth to capture those experimental frequency bends. Together, these guys bring the sound back to the audience's feet, making standing still impossible. The unique sound is fused together with Shannon Fortner's hypnotic, powerful vocals, capturing the audience with her lyrical soundscapes, then pulling them in with her sensual jazzy undertones.

"She pulls you in as she flips through her notes like a calm preacher about to unleash an impassioned sermon, Fortner, remaining calm with her sophisticated sensual voice forming the centerpiece of the band both with melodies and solos. Well chosen influences are obvious the shout whaling of BJork, the cinematic British-ness of Portishead's Beth Gibbons , and soulfulness of Simone."
Mark Sanders, Weekly Planet,Sarasota

The Habit's will be launching a new and improved website for their album release in mid January.

Spontaneous Habit can be seen live every 3rd tuesday night of the month at the local hotspot, Esca, in Sarasota.

Our music is the spontaneity and we are the habits

Hey friend

In life, we all have goals.
Goals are what drive us, what push us forward, what give our life purpose and meaning.

My main goal is to appear and perform my original poem, "Half Hearted," on The Ellen Degeneres Show. I've been working on this goal for 2 years, and I can't give up.
If you would like to help, please visit www.RendaWriter.com and sign my online petition that I created to help me get the attention of the show's producers and get me on the show.

Most big goals are reached by setting smaller goals along the way. So my goal is to go from 574 signatures to 650 signatures by May 1st. I can do that easily with your support. Thanks for your support.

Peace,
Renda Writer
