50% wilderness. 25% folk. 15% beard.10% Farfisa Magic..... leader of the Modern Ohio Cavalry........ Bryan & The Winter Shakers were voted the best looking band by Mountain Man Monthy in june 2005. Bryan enjoys to escape into the wilds of the west whenever he can. It just so happens the last great american explorer is also a guitarslinger. With his mighty farfisa and 6-string horse he rides into town to weave his tales of western expansion and broken treaties. He may sing you a song about running off to the far corners of the sandhills in Nebraska , or perhaps play an instrumental tribute to a dead fur trapper from Idaho. Either way you should enjoy this rust covered musical collage of self destruction and western america. Oh yes. It's time you join the modern ohio cavalry.......... Winter Shaker - The Shaker communities of early rural america would often welcome anyone that came their way with open arms. In particular those that were debating a change to their faith. Quite often adventurers and trappers would seek shelter during the cold long winters by posing as potential new recruits for the Shaker faith. After a winter filled with warmth and hearty meals they would disappear the second the weather broke. The next winter they would return with another "change of heart". The next spring....gone. Because of this behavior they earned the nickname "winter shakers' Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
