What is short|wave? It's a new acoustic show featuring Wavelength's guitarist, Eric Basler, and vocalist, Brian James.

We sat down and discussed opportunities for bringing Fox Valley audiences something different - something that they can't get anywhere else. An acoustic duo. Not just any acoustic duo, but an acoustic show using today's music.

We look around the bars and other venues and see 25-45 year olds making up a large portion of our audiences, yet many musicians are playing songs that, while classics, are songs that were most popular with the last generation - the same songs that nearly every act is performing. Who is playing the music that we grew up listening to?

Shortwave is our answer to this situation. We're taking some of the most popular, iconic songs from the 80's, 90's, and today, breaking them down, giving them our own creative twist, and offering them back to our fans in a new and fresh way. Here's a short list of what you might hear at a Shortwave show:

Disarm - Smashing Pumpkins

Drive - Incubus

Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon

Wonderwall - Oasis

Inside Out - Eve 6

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel

Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Just What I Needed - The Cars

Glycerine - Bush

Mad World - Tears For Fears

High & Dry - Radiohead

Pokerface - Lady Gaga

Man Who Sold the World - Nirvana

Times Like These - Foo Fighters

Elderly Woman - Pearl Jam

Hemorrhage - Fuel

Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve

Running to Stand Still - U2


We've got a few can't miss classics to throw at you as well, but in every case we'll be giving you a fresh way to listen to an old (or new) favorite!

Short|wave has a number of shows booked already and we'll be looking forward to seeing you!
