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.
