Made in the Shade

Made in the Shade is a Jazz/ R&B project whose members have a shared love for American music from the 1920-40s. Based in North Bennington, the band features Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Harmonica and a Horn Section. This 5 piece group will bring to life a vintage songbook exploring timeless themes ranging from love to loss.  Joe Chirchirillo and Lee Paquin are the two leaders of this group. Lee and Joe live very close to each other and have been playing together for about 5 years. Both have been playing music in various bands for many years.
