<p><span style="color: #f58216;">9 Volt Oyster is Shawn Pedersen, Wes Henrard, and Jeremy Samuel. The key of the project is to create complex rich music that takes the listener on a journey. As both Shawn and Wes both play the guitar, bass, keyboards, as well as the drums, it gives the project a very dynamic and changing song to song sound. Jeremy is the primary drummer of the project and is the master at laying down a beat to fit the groove. He supplies complex rhythms and a heavy helping of fills and sound fx that complete the trios sound to maximum prog fusion. The primary sound of the project is progressive rock/ fusion with Shawn's background in metal, jazz, as well as many other genres, Wes's in instrumental guitar, progressive rock/ fusion, flamenco, and blues, and Jeremy's background in metal and rock fusion. </span></p><p><span style="color: #f58216;">The project originated when The band Stain Glass parted ways in summer of 2010. Bassist Shawn Pedersen and lead guitarist Wes Henrard decided to move forward and start fresh with 9 Volt Ouster. A few months later upon a spontaneous jam between Wes and Jeremy, it was clear another member was to be added. 9 Volt Oyster is currently getting on their feet with playing local shows and adding to an ever growing set list. As there is only one recording with Shawn on drums and Wes on guitar and keys, to get fully shucked (du du tss!) you must go to one of their shows.</span></p>
