Rick Shea played pedal steel on "Where We Come From".

Shea hails from the gritty end of Route 66 in San Bernardino .
The place used to be known for its sprawling honky-tonk scene,
and he soaked up the local ambiance and took it to heart.
Shea started out playing folk on the coffeehouse circuit before
gravitating to the country scene as a sideman. This on-the-job
education translated into a solo career that's produced five albums
and countless gigs at venues and festivals all over the country.

He's received rave reviews for his songwriting and playing and is
hailed as a honky-tonk storyteller. But this is honky-tonk with
attitude. Sounds Like As a sideman, Shea has worked with everyone
from roots rock kingpin Dave Alvin to folk chanteuse Katy Moffatt
to indie rock legends R.E.M. As a member of Dave Alvins band,
The Guilty Men, Rick toured the U.S. and Europe for
6 years as an opener and multi-instrumental sideman, playing
everywhere from Hollywood to Austin to Madison Square Garden
and played on all of Daves albums during that time
including the Grammy winning Public Domain.
