BEAUCOUP SHAKTI FEATURED MUSICIANS
Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. and enjoy the music of Unity CR favorites Beaucoup Shakti, the inspirational duo of Sharon Bousquet and Phoenix Jordan. Phoenix Jordan has worked for Disney, Nickelodeon and Universal Studios. She has built her life as a filmmaker, performing arts teacher/choreographer and now a singer-songwriter, bringing her natural talent in vocal arranging, a gift of a voice and early experience scoring her own films to Beaucoup Shakti's sound. Sharon Bousquet is a veteran performing songwriter and a vocal seminar leader, having placed songs and received scoring credit for two films: the Telly award-winning "Sister Patchouli," and a Hollywood independent feature film, "Cosmic Radio." Sharon and Phoenix released their first CD together with 2011's "How Spirit Sings," a collection of songs written for Unity churches around the country. www.beaucoupshakti.com
