Shelving Rock is a magical blending of two experienced musicians
from diverse backgrounds being able to share the same muse. Stephen Iachetta,
the "Shaker Fiddler" joins together with T. Breeze VerDant,
the "Folker with a rock and roll heart." The result? Like any
good cooking experiment where you throw previously unmixed ingredients
together together not knowing what the result is... yet you follow your
intuitions and throw 'em in anyway... and get lucky with a great fresh
tasting recipe! Both players are very open to whatever approach the other
takes at any moment and it reveals itself in the freshness of the sound.
Shelving Rock can generate timeless fiddle tunes from the sweet and the
high-stepping, as well as down and dirty high energy blues driven guitar
tracks with rhthymic endorsement of foot drum plus vocals. Along side
their well received original tunes are very creative renditions of some
familiar songs.
Stephen Iachetta: vintage violin, Gibson Mandolin, 1880 Clawhammer
Banjo, and Gibson Tenor guitar.
Breeze VerDant: Hybrid Picked Electrified Acoustic Guitar, Foot
Drum, Vocals
