SHAWN DEMING
He is the reason we are Wolfcreek, he is the reason Todd even had an interest in singing. Without Shawn Deming Wolfcreek would not exist.....
Wolfcreek originated in Ravenswood, West Virginia in 1984. Shawn Deming (brother to now front man Todd Deming) got together with Rick Hickman, Keith Nutter and Davie Davis to begin something that wouldn't soon die.
Wolfcreek toured the West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Virginia circuit until deciding that this act was too special to stay local. In 1985 Shawn packed up and headed to Nashville, TN where he quickly got noticed in a hot spot called The Brass A on 16th Ave. Rubbing shoulders with folks like The Oakridge Boys, Keith Whitley (RIP) Alabama, Larry Dalton and The Dalton Gang he soon found himself singing in front of Owen Bradley.
Owen managed the Oakridge Boys and also owned Decca Records at the time. He liked what Shawn had brought to the table. Shawn was fortunate enough to tour the Nashville Circuit as well as a National front act for several well known artist like Alabama and the Oaks.
Personl issues and matters on the home front took Shawn back to West Virginia, much to everyones dismay. Shawn decided that it wasn't in the cards and chose to take on other ventures.
Shawn moved to Montana where he was able to pursue a life long dream of working on a horse ranch and guide hunting in the North West Rockies!!!
In 2000 Shawn's little brother Todd Deming moved to Maine and was quickly in search of musicians to fulfill his life long dream of playing professionally.
Todd first came in contact with veteran Maine drummer, Larry Fanjoy from Cambridge Maine. Larry knew a veteran guitar player from Garland Maine named Steve Nadeau. The only piece missing was a Bass player, so Todd got on the phone and rang up Jason Work from New Martinsville West Virginia and Wild Horses was formed. Jason moved to Maine to join the project.
Playing out under the name Wild Horses, Todd's new band was getting recognized as a act to reckon with. About 1 year into the project the PBR(Pro Bull Riding Association) released a Country Music CD that featured a band called "Wild Horses" with a female fronting the band. Todd than immediately began searching for something catchy to name the band and soon found the answer in his big brother who on a phone call said "Well Todd if Wolfcreek is gonna live on, you would be the man to do it." Wolfcreek became Wolfcreek once again and after several changes to the players in this band, Wolfcreek has found a groove in which they are comfortable.
Wolfcreek delivers high energy Southern Rock and New Country to the North East and their schedule proves that they have no shortage of fans!!
"Wolfcreek fans are special in that they come out to shows you would never expect to see them at. Wolfcreek fans don't care about distance, we have seen them as far North as we play up in Houlton, and we have seen them as far South as West Virginia and Ohio."
"People that will travel 1200 miles to see a band they enjoy are truly "special hahaha" said front man Todd Deming.
"All in all we play every weekend because of them, they know us and they are family to us."
"Wolfcreek fans truly are the very best and they know how to party. Without them we wouldn't be out there bustin our butts every weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Wolfcreek has deep Southern Rock roots. We also love New Country
but it must have an edge. While at a Wolfcreek show, we want you to feel
it, not just hear it. It's important to us that the music is in your face and
rockin!!! If you feel it you will dance, and we want to move you!!
Come check us out at a venue near you, it's not your average everyday
Country show!!!!!!!!

LINWOOD ( [email protected] / NO HOMEPAGE) WROTE: HEY BOYS, THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE TODD, I JUST WANT TO SUM UP A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE WHOLE AFFAIR, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE 'THE WEDDING' OF THE SUMMER IN LEE, WHICH YOU GUYS HELPED TO MAKE FIRST CLASS IN EVERY WAY. WE GOT THE WORD THAT LOREN'S DAD WAS BRINGING IN HIS 'COUNTRY' BAND, AND YOU KNOW KIDS, NEVER TOO GOOD ON DETAILS, SO CARON AND I WERE JOKING, "OH GREAT, BUNCH OF BACKWOODS SHITKICKERS, HIDE THE WHISKEY", THAT STEREOTYPE THAT IS SO PREVALENT...BUT WE KEPT ASSURING EACH OTHER TO JUST HANG IN, IT WILL BE OVER SOON. WE DIDN'T KNOW YOU GUYS WERE PROFESSIONALS! NOBODY TOLD US THAT, AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT SURPRISE NOT ONLY FOR US, BUT FOR EVERYONE. THE STRONG SOUTHWEST WIND THAT BLEW IN FRIDAY NIGHT AND DROWNED OUT CONVERSATION DURING THE REHEARSAL, WENT TOTALLY DEAD ON SATURDAY, AND I'M SURE THE MUSIC CARRIED CLEARLY ACROSS THE LAKE. AT ONE TIME ALAN TOOK ME DOWN TO THE SHORE AND THERE WERE PROBABLY 8 BOATS ANCHORED OUT IN FRONT ENJOYING THE SHOW. WE UNDERSTAND THE SACRIFICE THAT YOU ALL MADE TO MAKE THIS A SPECIAL NIGHT, BOTH MONETARILY AND TIMEWISE, AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. ASIDE FROM THE POWER OUTAGE (WHICH I TAKE CREDIT FOR), IT WAS AN EXCELLENT SHOW, EVERYTHING THOSE KIDS WANTED OR EXPECTED, AND EXTRA SPECIAL BECAUSE DAD LARRY WAS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND A GROUP OF VERY GOOD MUSICIANS AND SUPPORT PEOPLE. A SINCERE THANK YOU FROM CARON AND I, LINWOOD STAPLES NAPLES, FL & SILVER LAKE
