The Bands History The bands origin goes back to the year 2000 when Jason Woolard and Jeff Wandell formed a small combo known as '3rd String'. High Street Shelter was formed as a result of the duo's desire to broaden their musical horizons, and came together in 2002. Newcomers included Ed Ventura on drums, Tony Ventura on keyboards, and Chris Diehl on bass. The new members brought a vast amount of musical experience to the already well established duo. Ed had about 25 years on drums, and his brother Tony about 30 years on keyboards. Chris, although the 'youngster" in the group at 29, still boasted 15 years on his instrument. In 2006 Ed and Chris left High Street Shelter to pursue other musical interests. Fortunately the band never missed a beat, acquiring Chris 'Big Daddy' Miller on bass guitar and Dave 'Double D' Dwyer on drums. The new duo have brought a rich bottom end to the band as well as extending the bands vocal range. Jeff Wandell left the band in the fall of 2007 to pursue other non-musical interests, making room for Dave 'The Assassin' Eady to step in on rhythm guitar as well as providing rich vocal accompaniments. So the current cast consists of : The most important aspect of the band is that we all enjoy what we're doing, and this attitude manifests itself on the stage, much to the delight of the audience. After all, music should be about having fun, and when we see the audience having fun, then we know we've done our jobs.
