Artist History The band was formed in 1998 when members of "Spiritual Dawn" Stu, Phil and Fuzz decided to form "The Shining". By enlisting the talent of Ronnie, Jon and Jonny this enabled the band to embark on a career of more commercially appealing music. Since then they have played countless gigs up and down the country. The band consists of: Ronnie Hewison - Singer, Stu Davidson - Guitar, Phil Davidson - Bass, Stu "Fuzzy" Foster - Drums, Jon Bethell - Hammond Organ/Fender Rhodes, Jonny Metcalfe - Saxophone. Their tireless schedule and commitment has allowed them to develop a loyal following and current shows are almost always sellouts.

Albums Introducing the Band

Press Reviews The Shining perform an electrifying set of original and cover material blending many styles to create a unique sound. The solid rythym section of Phil and Fuzzy allow the guitar, keyboards and saxophone to interact freely with each other creating a proffesional, yet energetic sound. This makes a perfect setting for Ronnie to cut through with a full vocal.
