   About The Shades
  I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

The Shades are four Central Texas musicians who play vintage rock and Texas blues like it was meant to be played - with authentic rawness, grit, groove, but above all, reverence. First formed in the early 1980s with Ricky Matthews and Dennis Hardwick on guitars and vocals, Bruce Bray on drums, and Bo Cryar on bass, the band reunited after 23 years in 2007, with all four founding members, plus James Mueke on guitar, and later adding saxophonist and vocalist Paul Brown. The band steadily gained momentum throughout Temple, Austin, Killeen and surrounding areas -- winning the hearts of young and old alike with their unique talent for turning old into gold. The Shades went through personnel changes in 2008 when some members decided to leave to spend more time with family, but they quickly regained stride with a streamlined meaner, leaner four-piece version of the band with a slightly funkier, bluesier groove.

Current band members include: Ricky Matthews guitar and vocals, Robert Flores on bass, Bruce Bray on drums, and Paul Brown on sax and vocals.

I know it's been a couple of weeks since you guys played @ Bum's, but I just wanted to thank you for rockin' Temple.

I really needed to get out of the house that night. I was feeling down, and of course my leg was hurting... but y'all lifted me up!

Thanks again. I hope things are still rockin' in your world.
