   About Shawn Hershey
Shawn Hershey graduated from the La Guardia Performing Arts highschool in 1994. He later attended the Eastman School of Music from 1994-1999 where he studied classical trumpet performance. He ended up graduating from the University of Rochester in 1999 with a BA in Computer Science. He has been living in Boston, MA ever since where he works at Teradyne as a software engineer, teaches Lindy Hop at the It's All Swing studio, and occassionaly plays music with the Mustn't Grumble and a band he recently put together for swing dancers: shawnhershey.com/music.aspx

Shawn also occassionaly teaches Lindy Hop and blues workshops with Amanda Gruhl and Betina Hershey in places like Tokyo Japan, Connecticut, and Boston.

Shawn is also confused about whether he should speak in the first person or third person, since this is a Bio section, and people usually talk about themselves in the third person in a Bio, but really, it feels weird man... I mean, actually, he's so famous, that it is not he but his professional publicist that is writing this Bio and so it doesn't feel funny to write about him in the third person. Nope. Not at all.

Amanda's 30th birthday party in December of 2006:
Shawn (trumpet), Jeramie Anderson (drums), Josh Fialkoff (piano), Ben Vigoda (guitar), Steve Conahan (bass), Tim (trombone)

It was great playing with these guys and I (I mean he) hope to do it more often. It was also a really interesting and fun time playing for dancers.

Shawn and Betina Hershey in April of 2005 performing at the International House:

You=awesome too. Great minds think alike.

You know, I think I hear that voice calling me to Boston. Now, we just need to convince that voice to talk to the P.T. schools who would need to accept me.

I will be in D.C. for Mardi Gras. You and Amanda should come hang out! It's only two short China Town Bus trips away! :)

Thanks so much for coming, dancing AND playing at my party (again). I was thinking about your synth layering, I'd love to hear you do that again!
