Internationale Musikkünstlern mit indie-label, Pie-Raid Records, spielten alternative/rock. Die Gruppe ist mit männlichen und weiblichen vocals und können gesehenes Durchführen mit einem vollen Band, das Insomniacs oder als akustisches Duo sein. Musik reichen von den amerikanischen fünfziger Jahren durch heute und, beim Durchführen als Duo, werden am Publikum Antrag (Listen der bekannten Liede werden zur Verfügung gestellt), Vorlagen sind verglichen worden mit Matchbox 20, Sheryl Crow, Nickelback, the Cult, Evenessence und viel mehr gespielt.
With members that have opened for No Doubt, Jewel, SimplePlan, and Shine Down; worked with the likes of Billy Gibbons, Silverleaf, and Lee Alexander; toured the former USSR and Europe; played for Embassies and international associations; been sponsored by Budweiser and Heineken; and come in just 1 round from appearing on American Idol, the band, Shea-Van Winkle, is no stranger to the hard work it takes to get to the stage.
To say Shea-Van Winkle burst onto the scene would not only be cliché, but also a lie. After a 2 year hiatus from the music scene Wil Van Winkle began performing as a solo artist. Knowing the power behind Brit Shea’s voice, Wil began working her into his gigs 1 song per set. After about a year of this Brit began working on percussion & vocals to accent Wil’s solo act, a few months later the acoustic duo was officially formed.
Wil & Brit, longing for more, began putting together a band, due to a new attitude in the Houston music scene since Wil’s initial departure to the former USSR & Europe, they found it difficult to find like minded individuals willing to do whatever it takes to get ahead in the industry so Shea-Van Winkle set out with the Insomniacs, a backing band composed of “hired guns”, to play full band shows. The reaction to this set-up was strong, but this also limited the band’s ability to play out & write material, so the acoustic duo was kept around to compensate for scheduling conflicts among the hired musicians.
After almost a year of playing live in this manner the Insomniacs part was dropped & Brit's name added to the official band name to outline her importance in the group. After months of searching, Chad Pleasant was added on drums and, with a background in Texas Country, Jazz, Blues, Rock, and Funk, brought a new dimension to material the group was working on. The approach Chad, dubbed the loudest drummer in Texas by former band mates, has to drums is more like a songwriter than a drummer, which made his integration into the group seamless.
Today Shea-Van Winkle can be seen all over Texas, in various parts of the US, and Europe. Refusing to give up, Shea-Van Winkle keep moving along as they have been building their fanbase base 1 CD and 1 e-mail address at a time.
