Shauna Antoniuc - The Dream's On Me (2003)

Shauna Antoniuc has been singing professionally since 1994 in all different styles. She recorded this album in Burlington, Vermont in 2002 with renowned Burlington jazzers Joe Capps and Chris Peterman. Joe and Shauna also laid down tracks for their second album before she headed west to Sacramento in 2003. Stay tuned for its impending release….
Her first band, Belizbeha, was an acid jazz/funk/dance group which toured extensively around the US, Canada and Europe during the mid to late nineties. They put out 2 albums selling over 30,000 albums combined. Belizbeha is still active, playing twice a year for special occasions. She also sang in Vermont's number one (because it's the ONLY one!) western swing band Rick and the Ramblers, headed by Mr. Rick Norcross himself. Shauna started singing jazz while waiting tables at a restaurant downtown Burlington. Joe Capps, jazz guitarist extrodinaire, had a weekly gig at the Saigon Cafe. He knew Shauna from Belizbeha as they had done some work in his recording studio. He would ask her to come up and sing a couple at times during the night, and eventually they decided to try and get a gig out of it. It snowballed from there. Add the renowed saxophonist, Chris Peterman, into the mix and you have the trio. Chris plays amazing harmonies to Shauna's vocals, and is also an accomplished songwriter (check out his track "Sing Me to Sleep".) Joe's guitar wizardry is the glue that holds everything together. Shauna's vocals are the icing on the cake. Now in Sacramento, Shauna sings with a jazz quartet similar to her Burlington group. Charlie Robinson plays guitar, Mickey Bennett plays bass, and Brad Hammet rounds it out on trombone. They are currently in the process of recording an album as well, so stay tuned for that too!
