Formed in February 2003, the Shadyside Allstars have persistently risen above the stale expectations of music lovers as they offer an inimitable approach to live performance. Their songwriting sensibilities merge melody, technicality and an infectious atmosphere inciting citizens to stand up and take notice. Charles Tidd of the IUPUI Sagamore agrees stating, “The sound is full of rich, warm guitar tones that favor the Allman Brothers and Santana; the three-piece rhythm section drives a thick groove that is tight and relentless.” The Allstars shed the myth that inflections captured in the studio need be performed note for note, night after night.
Shadyside employs this proficiency capturing the audiences attention through solid structure and vibrant improvisation. Known for well-rehearsed stage performances, the Allstars simultaneously astonish crowds with unpredicted melodies, harmonies and rhythm-based jams. Kristen Leep of Indianapolis Music.Net writes, “They are a talented, feel-good band that write strong songs, improvise well, but always a have a focus.” This funky, jam band momentum sparks rapport with multitudes of enthusiastic, energetic listeners. As spontaneous melodies soar over rooted grooves, the Allstars purpose prevails: a fan base grows.

Shaggy Wonda is an up and coming high energy roots rock/blues band with a sound that modernizes the rocknroll sounds of decades past with driving riffs and melodies backed by solid songwriting. The Shaggy Wonda vibe is rapidly winning over fans at clubs, venues, and festivals all over the Midwest.

Shaggy Wonda’s brand of high energy roots rock was born in the mid-western college town of Bloomington, Indiana, which the band calls home. This mixture of world culture and good ol’ Indiana living is the cornerstone of the band’s personality and music. Influences that range from bluegrass and jazz to hip-hop and Americana allow Shaggy Wonda to explore a wide variety of musical styles and feels. However, it is the soul, sweat, and tears behind it that give the sound its definition of rock n roll. The Mousetrap, 56th and Keystone. 255-3189
