Birch Riley

Original hard rock band Birch Riley will join Paper Beats Rock and Tieton Drive at Shoreline's Club Hollywood Casino, 16716 Aurora Ave N., Shoreline, WA on Friday June 10, 2011.

The lineup will go from 8pm til late into the night, with Birch Riley headlining. Birch Riley, who are compared to Judas Priest meets Rush meets Pearl Jam, released an EP called "3" in 2009 after recording at Fremont's Toy Box studio with Brian Pake. The tracks were further added to and finally mixed by long time engineer Jonathan Plum at the world famous London Bridge Studios housed in the Shoreline area. 

Birch Riley includes Wes Hlebichuk (guitar / lead vocals), Shawn Thompson (guitar / keys / backing vocals), Rick Sloot (drums), and brand new band mate Phil Calvert. Calvert started rehearsing with the band in February 2011 and brings an added dimension to the band's live sound. Originally a touring trio, the band have travelled around the U.S. but make their home in the northwest. Info on the band can be found at their website.  Tickets for the event are $7 at the door.
