HISTORY

Innerspirit Project started in the 70's as Innerspirit with Dwayne Crenshaw on drums and his brother Marc Johnson on guitar/bass followed by Marvin Sheats on guitar/bass a few months later and Kirby Willis on bass soon afterwards.

Innerspirit started out playing R&B then moved quickly into the world of Rock and Roll playing songs from Jimi Hendrix to Deep Purple and acquiring Jonathan (Corky) Meadows on keyboards. Innerspirit then began to explore the music of Jazz/Fusion. They were totally inspired by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tony Williams Lifetime, Brand X, Chick Corea and Return To Forever, Herbie Hancock and many more jazz/fusion artists.

Innerspirit went through a number of personnel changes through the years eventually disbanding. Fast forward over 20 years later; three of the original members of Innerspirit decided that they needed to make music again. Innerspirit began to pretty much pick up where they had left off but with one change...

Innerspirit changed their name to Innerspirit Project.
