Fendershine

This band has been fermenting for years. The members have been eyeing each other as potential band mates, while continuing to play with other Island musical configurations, such as Island Fusion, Shy Sundays, BeSides and Goldaline.

At long last, these diverse musical ingredients got tossed together to create a tasty musical fizz bang! We bring you Fender Shine, a fine blend of great tunes, both original and obscurely covered rock and roll, with a twist of lime. Fender Shine is Rick Vanselow (guitar), Eric Frith (guitar), Steve Meyer (bass) and Kim Thal (violin).

Also on the bill is Joe Panzetta. Joe Panzetta is a Vashon based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and singer. He performs original songs on guitar, banjo and harmonium, singing melodic ballads with a signature percussive guitar style.

Panzetta has been recording and performing music since 1989 when he started the band Big Sky with Peter Mulvey, and has released 7 Cds. Joe also leads mantra concerts with the kirtan band, Mandali, and is in the midst of collaborating with choreographer/poet Dominique Gabella (Next Stage Dance Theatre) on the multi-media project "Short Stories for Long Life". Panzetta has composed numerous pieces of music for Gabella shows in the past, and with the latest project the duo explores spoken word poems set to sound scapes/music over animated short videos.
