Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. BREAKING NEWS - WSW guitarist Dan Peters is announced by Guitar Center as one of the top 5 blues guitarists in the country and competes at the King of the Blues Grand Finals in Hollywood, CA on Nov. 12th, March, 2008 - WSW song "Keep It In The Family" is announced as a winner in the 2007 Great American Song Contest www.greatamericansong.com - Nov., 2007 - WSW songs "Scary Harry" and "The Spooky Surfer" licensed for use in Warren Miller's "Wave Chasers" on The Travel Channel - August, 2007 - WSW SONG "KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY" WINS THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD IN THE 2007 UNISONG INTERNATIONAL SONG CONTEST WWW.UNISONG.COM - June, 2007 - WSW GUITARIST DAN PETERS WINS 3RD PLACE IN THE 2007 NORTH AMERICAN ROCK GUITAR COMPETITION .. .. .. .. .. .. .. - AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT... THE BIO - The West Side Winders began in early spring of 2001 under the name The Sidewinders. Guitarist/vocalist Dan Peters took a wide variety of influences and worked towards developing a group that would be both technically challenging and highly entertaining. After working through a few lineup and stylistic changes, he found the perfect niche in the form of a swingin', surfabilly power trio. Their music mixes rockabilly, surf, jump-blues, honky-tonk, jazz and western swing into a high-octane blend that rocks a little harder than your typical roots oriented group. This sound was perfected on their first CD release from 2004 - "Come and Get It" (available at www.cdbaby.com/sidewinders) and continues with their latest release - "Snaken Not Stirred" (available at www.cdbaby.com/westsidewinders) which, in 2007, spent several months in the top 100 on the AMA radio charts. Plus, for fans of great guitar, both albums really put the spotlight on Dan's virtuoso six-string skills. All three members of The West Side Winders are journeyman musicians who have recorded; performed and toured the world with many Chicago based acts. -

Nice to see you here!
Jammit is an app where you can solo the instruments of your favorite songs. We are a team of engineers, mixers and musicians. We started Jammit because we got together and saw a need for musicians to have software like this.
After a couple years of development and talking labels into allowing the raw tracks to be released, we have taken the separate tracks of famous songs and formatted them for your IPhone and Ipod Touch. We are currently developing other platforms like the desktop app.
Solo the track, learn with the scrolling music and hear exactly how players like Ritchie Blackmore played the part....all from the original master tapes, no re-records.
Frank Gryner and Chris Baseford (Rob Zombie engineers, mixers) have started a blog forum on here where you can have dialogue with them, no stuffy gap between anyone anymore.
Best to you!

On June 14, 2010 we will be accepting submissions from artists interesting in performing in front of 25 to 50 representatives from the 4 Major Recording Labels and several of the top Independent Record Labels.
This will occur over two consecutive weekends. One weekend in New York and one weekend in Los Angeles over two days that will feature 15 of the top bands selected to perform each night at one location. In doing it this way every band that performs WILL BE SEEN by ever representative attending. Unlike SXSW and other such music conferences where if you’re not at the one or two locations where all the label representatives hang out, you’ll ever be seen, and it was a complete waste of your time and money.
NO COST or FEES, other than the artist’s own travel expenses. Compete details and submission procedures shall be posted on our MySpace page June 14, 2010. WE SHALL NOT ACCEPT ANY SUBMISSIONS UNTIL THAT DATE.
And here is why we are committing a considerable amount of time and resources to this opportunity:
Sonicbids is an Artist and Promoters Worst Nightmare
Recently we began a trial usage of Sonicbids’ service for our artist and band searches.
As a result of that test it became clear that Sonicbids is all about earning money at the expense of artists looking to break through the wall that surrounds the music industry.
Based on our experiences from both the perspective of artists we are associated with seeking to benefit from opportunities offered though Sonicbids. As well as from the perspective of promoters searching for talent through Sonicbids service.
