Welcome New Clients!

Right Hand Shade

Right Hand Shade is a pop/rock band infused with soulful vocals, catchy guitar riffs and a modern surf-rock flair. Hailing from the shores of New England, RHS has risen as one of the most in-demand and original acts in the Northeast, with multiple invites back all across the region.

Drawing upon the eclectic musical roots and influences of its four members, RHS has honed a sound all its own: A unique fusion of infectious guitar hooks and complex rhythmic arrangements (Lincoln Brewster, Switchfoot), soaring powerhouse gospel vocals (Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey), authentic lyrical depth (Crowder, For King & Country), with a dose of surf rock vibes and slide guitar for good measure (The Beach Boys, The Surfaris).

With songwriting focused on such themes as hope, truth, justice and eternity, RHS delivers a high-energy performance that audiences do not soon forget. Whether lighting up the stage with a high-octane rock tune, inspiring the crowd to clap and stomp along, sharing relatable and authentic life stories, or arresting the listener with lush vocal harmonies in a heartfelt ballad, RHS’s mission of hope and strength in a dark age is clear.

Gary is an innovative and creative manager with progressive ideas. I recommend his forward thinking company for anyone looking for artist management.

Kathy Douglas, Indie Extreme
Gary spent a good deal of our consultancy time together asking important questions and listening. I was so pleased to find that Gary genuinely wanted to ‘get’ me first and then customize his services to exactly my needs. He did not have a one-size-fits-all approach at all! He took the time and had the skills and insight to ‘understand me and what I believe I’m called to do before supplying excellent advise for the path ahead. Not only have I found solid professional insight in Gary, I have found a potential ministry partner.

Grant Norsworthy – Dove Award winner, Grammy nominee, bassist for Paul Colman Trio and SonicFlood
Gary's integrity and creativity makes him a pinnacle in his industry. His quick thinking and highly innovative concepts are really fantastic. Not to mention, he is just a great guy to be around. I highly recommend Gary Stripling.

Jeremiah Johnson, Graphic Designer
Gary is an incredibly talented professional who does great work. He has the utmost integrity and very knowledgeable in his field. I would recommend him to anyone who is needing management or web services. He would be a great asset to anyone.

Paul Hollifield, Lead Pastor
Gary was my website manager for over two years and was very punctual, as well as innovative in his design and management of the site. I recommend his services highly, and think you will find him a great help to your business!!!
