The Wayside is united by a love for creating and performing music that moves people. In 2014, Dan, Bill and Brad were in a band called Countrycide, playing all around Ballard and Seattle. It was great, but something was missing.

Turns out, that something was Shannon. After years of acoustic duos and bluegrass jams, she wanted a full band to help bring her songs to life. What she found was a perfect match for her songwriting and voice, with harmonies and musicianship to complement songs that blend all of their influences into their own brand of Country Northwestern music.
