Big influences include The Funk Brothers, Stevie Wonder, and Bob Marley & the Wailers.” Masih and his backup band of long-time friends blend the energetic funk grooves of yesteryear with today’s cultivated and refined pop aesthetic, delivering danceable, high-energy live performances with spontaneous improvisations and solos that come with a jam band.

From San Louis Obispo and Back in Monterey, STILL TIME
With their music being hard to place into any one genre, Still Time's sound is best defined as groove rock with an eclectic mix of instruments such as; harmonica, mandolin, slide guitar and upright bass. With a unique style reminiscent of dynamic artists such as Ben Harper, Van Morrison and Dave Matthews Band, Still Time offers a positive, high-energy show that appeals to many different musical tastes and backgrounds.
