Changes In Latitudes  records their own original music under the name Steve Kareta and Changes  Their music is a blend of "Trop-Rock", country, Cajun, Reggae, and sing-along pop.  Members of Jimmy Buffett's "Coral Reefer Band" make appearances on almost every CD.  You can find all these CDs at their live shows, and MP3 downloads are available online at CDBaby, iTunes, and most other popular online download sites. Five Year Plan    "Five Year Plan" is a collection of eleven songs about where we’ve been, where we are, and that sunny tropical island where we would all like to wind up. Even the CD cover-art displays the Yin & Yang of the rush-hour traffic to the serene tropical sunset. The release of this fourth CD in early of 2012 coincided with the official 10-year anniversary of the band. The first saxophone note of the Ska-flavored "Five Year Plan" kicks the disc off in high gear.  The raucousness of the title track is contrasted with the quiet beauty of songs like "Everything Changes", "Best Foot Forward" and "Only In My Mind".  The album transitions seamlessly from Ska to sea shanties, country to New Orleans Junker piano tunes, and even straight-ahead rock and roll.  Amy Lee and Doyle Grisham from Jimmy Buffett’s “Coral Reefer Band” again make many appearances across the tracks. FIVE YEAR PLAN is available on-line at Apple iTunes and Amazon Summer State Of Mind    Eleven "Trop-Pop" songs about sun, fun, friends and life.  Featuring special guests Doyle Grisham on pedal steel guitar and Amy Lee on saxophones from Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, and Judy Hyman on fiddle from the "newgrass" band The Horseflies and Natalie Merchant Band.  Like their previous two CDs, "Summer State of Mind" blends elements of Cajun, country, folk, rock and reggae styles, exploring the types of fusions that have brought such great success to Jimmy Buffett, Alan Jackson, and Kenny Chesney. SUMMER STATE OF MIND is available on-line at Apple iTunes and Amazon Tequila Inspiration    Nine great songs about the crazy life we lead. An acoustic/electric blend of country, Cajun, reggae, pop, and trop-rock styles.  Featuring Miyanna Nielsen on saxophones, vocalist Hannah Freidenberg, and multi-instrumentalist Guy Wallis on mandolin, keyboards, and the blues harp, while percussionist Brandon Marger creates smoking groove lines underneath it all. These songs are a collection of real-life happenings, stories that everyone can relate to. From the title track, "Tequila Inspiration", about doing crazy things under the influence of said alcoholic beverage, to the comical " Cabana Cowboy", a tale about a lost soul who finds his place in life renting out beach chairs and chasing tourist girls from a fake Tiki-hut on a beach in Key West.  "El Camino Real" closes the CD with a musical look at the majestic road that runs along the crest of the mountains above Santa Barbara, California, which is spotted with old missions and grand views of the Pacific Ocean below. TEQUILA INSPIRATION is available on-line at Apple iTunes  and Amazon By The Sea    The group's first collection of original music, showcasing what is the bands signature live sound and style, an energetic blend of rock, country, reggae, and trop-rock flavors which is hard to label, but easy to enjoy. Former "Radio Margaritaville" guest DJ John Cody's "Endless Summer" program, on internet radio station "Live 365 Permanent Vacation Radio" , used the track "What Life's About" for the theme song to his show. The track "Boat Around The World" has been used in a film by producer Scott Kittredge, and most recently in the upcoming movie "Indiana James and the Lost Shaker of Salt". BY THE SEA is available on-line at Apple iTunes  and Amazon,
