STILL is the power-pop/rock-pop creative focus of Alaskan-born and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Wade Biery. With guitar-based pop tendencies similar to "XTC" or "Del Amitri" meshed with rock's energy and a light dusting of country-pop added to the mix, STILL's music is engaging from the very first listen, and refreshing in it's originality and depth.
STILL's current CD, "I don't mind" is already generating considerable interest and anticipation in listeners familiar with STILL. Pre-release promotion with selected outlets through online Internet radio and samples tested from the website have many STILL admirers very excited about the release of "I don't mind", and radio personalities similarly impressed - "I honestly think this CD (I don't mind) has the potential to be the best selling CD of this year!" - (Michael Yongue - the "Michael Yongue Show"). STILL solo acoustic shows and full band shows have toured the West coast and Southwest of the US extensively in support of the new release, as well as playing selected dates in Europe and working with radio and retail music outlets.
STILL began with the 1998 release of the debut CD "The Distance". Wade Biery wrote and produced "The Distance", playing most of the instruments on the CD and performing all the vocals. After the release of "The Distance", STILL headed out on the road to to promote the CD. Along the way STILL was able to gather quite a bit of radio airplay along the West Coast and in Alaska, many positive and enthusiastic reviews, airplay on Ellen K's nationally syndicated radio program, television airplay in Southern California, sell a ton of CD's, and reach # 4 here in GarageBand.com's $250,000 band contest. In the fall of 1999 STILL returned to the studio to record the new CD "I don't mind" with Wade taking on the same duties as he did with the making of "The Distance". Top Los Angeles-based studio and touring musicians contributed their skills as well, bringing an extra depth to Wade's songs.
In the past Wade has had the good fortune to perform with many excellent performers in the music business ranging from Leanne Rimes and Carlene Carter to Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Dillon O'Brian, Joe Cocker, The Turtles, Latin-Rock superstar Miguel Mateos and Christopher Cross, traveling the globe in the process.
STILL is back on the road playing the music for anyone who will listen, most often as Wade playing solo acoustic shows, with many shows featuring the full band as well. STILL is putting together a steady stream of live shows, radio interviews and on-air performances, as well as press promotion through local media in the areas STILL appears in.
Thanx for Listening - Wade from STILL
