biography

the shorewoods started sometime in 1998 when joe lawless began taking "guitar breaks" with sean bentley on the grounds of their employer's campus. over the next two years, several songs began to take the shape of something that should probably be recorded.

jay weaver and mike bristow were recruited to provide some rhythm and bass to the tunes and rehearsals began during the winter of 2000 in lawless' living room.

the following spring, recording began at seattle's egg studios for what would become the shorewoods' debut cd, "long weekend."

several gigs as the full quartet and the already established duo (inbetween recording dates) kept the band active until the cd's release in early 2003.
