THE SHREDS
and Devil's Train
“The Shreds are a powerful indie rock
trio, consisting of band members Dylan
Rodrigue, vocals and guitar; Blake
Severn, vocals and bass; and Griffin
Meyer, drums. Reverbnation.com states
“Imagine a creative collision between
the raw power and intensity of Nirvana,
the beautiful melodic and lyrical sense
of Elliott Smith, and the kick-ass
guitar jams of Phish — all in the same
song — and you have a sense of The
Shreds.”
The Shreds debut album,
“Stranger”, released in July 2009, was
produced by five-time Academy Award
nominated motion picture sound editor
and engineer Michael Herbick. The Shreds
have won both the 2009 John Lennon
Educational Bus Battle of the Bands,
where they recorded the song and video,
“A Very Dark Green”, and the 2008
Sacramento News & Review Jammies
competition. They were also nominated
for a 2009 SN&R Sammies Award in the
Outstanding Teen Band category. Many of
the songs on their album, “Stranger”
were recorded at David Houston Studios
in Sacramento, a 25 hour recording
project resulting from their win of the
previous year’s Jammies.

www.theshreds.com where you can hear

THE CALIFORNIA PRESERVATION FOUNDATION'S
THREE MINUTE SUCCESS STORIES
The Three-Minute Success Stories is
an opportunity to present your very own preservation
success story!
The Three-Minute Success Stories has been a California
Preservation Foundation tradition stretching back to the
3rd Annual California Preservation Conference in 1978.
While humor often comes to the fore, the program also
gives preservationists a chance to present local
successes to a statewide audience, sharing a wide
variety of preservation experiences in lively and
entertaining ways.
Three-Minute Success Stories have told of buildings
restored after earthquakes, giant industrial cranes
being relocated, enlightening adaptive reuse, modern
architecture coming of age, community efforts overcoming
all odds to save an important local landmark, and
historic places saved from bulldozers at the last
moment. Be adventurous!
