The
Wayside Shakeup began in 2003 with some quiet jams in Haddon View apartments, and one original song which founding members Chris D’Antonio and Rob Volansky really, really liked. After that brief stint, they went their separate ways, but when Rob returned from living overseas in ’07, they began writing songs in earnest. Chris and Rob both graduated from Haddon Twp. HS, but in different eras – Chris in ’01, Rob in ’93. The generation gap partially explains the differences in influences between the two, the most notable of which is that Rob is far more a product of grunge. Otherwise, their likes can be broken down by decades. Chris, though younger, has a strong background in 50’s & 60’s doo-wop and Motown; Rob grew up on 70’s classic rock radio and 80’s MTV hits. Chris leans toward Floyd, Rob leans toward Zep. Given a life-or-death choice, Rob would take 80’s schmaltz over Phish or the Dead, but just barely. Chris likes his pop but loves the jams. Apart from guitar-based music, Chris has a great feel for hip-hop, and Rob has a healthy appetite for electronica. Neither is opposed to getting funky on occasion.Ranging from shameless pop to wobbly blues, The Wayside Shakeup offers a cross-section of songs. Groove out, belt out, chill out. http://www.facebook.com/TheWaysideShakeup https://twitter.com/#!/WaysideShakeup http://soundcloud.com/thewaysideshakeup http://www.youtube.com/user/TheWaysideShakeup

ANDREEA PAUTA
Romanian-born pianist and pianist/singer-songwriter "dreea" grew up studying classical piano and eventually went on to New England Conservatory to graduate with her Bachelors in Piano Performance. She wanted to change the world through music, and this led her to Harvard Graduate School of Education for a Masters in Arts Education. And then, for all intents and purposes, she moved to NYC, got a spiffy part-time job typing (she says "piano skills give you typing skills"), and began to melt everything together to create her own music, combining the various parts of her history.....atonal harmonies from 20th century music, to the romanticism of Rachmaninoff, the guts of Ani DiFranco, the murmurings of Tori Amos, the lovely ambiguity of e.e. cummings, and some jazz harmonies scattered about. She has two cd's: "Spring" was recorded live in 2000, "Autumn" was a labor of love from 2007. She wrote and sang in order to find her love, which she did, and they lived happily ever after...
