Progressive Rock from the southern tip of Texas, USA. An original blend from a trio
with many influences from the 60's through the 80's such as Grand funk
Railroad, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, April Wine, and Rush. Guitar
oriented and edgy with a classic rock feel. Straight up no frills rock
and roll. Check out Sidewinder's "My Country" as well.

The south Texas Rock n Roll band, Sidewinder, was founded in August of 1984 by
guitarist David Valdez and drummer Paul Pederson. Performing in various
other bands yet, never together, Valdez and Pederson, joined forces
under simplistic common ground which was their shared passion for high
energy Rock n Roll music. Influenced by music and artists over a broad
era from the 60’s through the 80’s, Sidewinder’s sound and style evolved
into a unique distinctive original blend. As a trio, the band’s
trademark sound is based not only on Valdez’s ability to literally shred
on the guitar combined with the broad full tone, clarity, and wall of
sound coming through his amplifiers yet, his technique, approach and
conviction as he plays. Pederson has enough drums around him to make two
drum kits out of his one. With his arsenal, he is able to provide a
solid foundation while, simultaneously, incorporating fills and accents
blending with the solid bass lines and tastefully accentuating Valdez's
blazing guitar riffs. Lead vocals are shared between both Valdez and
Pederson.
Throughout the years, Sidewinder built a following from their home base in Brownsville, Texas playing local venues and traveling
to perform showcase engagements such as the South By Southwest Musical
Festival in Austin, Texas and various other showcase events. Sidewinder
released its own self titled debut LP, "Sidewinder" in 1989 which was
subsequently re-released in 2014 featuring such crowd favorites as
Dreamers, Cruisin’ On the Levee, Ready To Rock, and Flyin’ High which
received FM radio airplay in select markets across Texas and Mexico.
Their most recent release, "My Country", with its patriotic title track
of the same name expressing the concerns of the general populous of
their disgust and misguidance of the government, was released in October
of 2012.
Sidewinder has always been a dedicated supporter of charity and non-profit organizations. They have contributed their time and
efforts in performing benefit concerts for such causes as The Jerry
Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Foundation, Toys For Tots, United Blood
Services, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the Campaign For A Drug Free
America. Also, they were featured as the house band for several episodes
of a local television talk show.
Although the core of Sidewinder, Valdez and Pederson, has never changed, other members have come and gone
along the way. The original bass player was St. Louis, Missouri native,
Mike Arent (1984-87) followed by Brownsville’s JJ Pena (1987-89), and
Rey Ybarra (1989-91). Contributing to the band briefly as lead vocalist
was Raul Garcia of Alamo, Texas (1989-90). Joining Valdez and Pederson
in the current line up is the return of bassist Rey Ybarra. Ybarra
brings back to the band his exceptional talent with a solid yet, spicy
style on the bass guitar. Along with the bass, he brings his talents as a
vocalist as well. Ybarra's exceptional ability in moving around the
fret board provides the third and final element to the recipe for the
distinct Sidewinder sound.
Music is merely an expression of a multitude of emotions, personality, and experiences brought forth and
conveyed through instrumentation and voice.
