Bio
Hailing from the booming music culture of Chicago, Every Wakes Dream brings something different to the table. Through their variety of songwriting, the acoustic duo has a song for every mood. From up-beat pop songs to slow ballads, Every Wakes Dream has a song for you. But when we speak of these two musicians, we can not only praise the two albums they have already released, but we must also take into consideration their live performance. Every Wakes Dream grabs the attention of every audience member and takes them on an emotional journey throughout the show. With a live performance like this, it is no wonder that they have completed two successful Midwest tours and have plans to conquer the nation.
Every Wakes Dream was founded in the fall of 2009 by Ed Wimp after playing in a number of bands in the Chicago music scene. This solo project, at the time was started in hopes of alleviating the scheduling conflicts and difficulties of coordinating an entire band. Wimp continued solo for the next 9 months and put out the EP Becoming the Wave and completing a Midwest tour.
In June of 2010, Paul Anderson joined Every Wakes Dream making it a duo. The addition of Paul added a nice variety to the songwriting and his style fit right in with the direction that the project was going. Anderson, previously being a drummer for the Chicago based band So Many Ways had a different approach to the creative process which added tremendously to the success of Every Wakes Dream.
A big question has recently been “what is the meaning of the name Every Wakes Dream?” The official explanation from Ed Wimp is that “it represents the stage that we are in life right now. A wake is a small wave by definition. The wake symbolizes where we are right now in life. My dream is for us to grow and to be a symbolic “wave”. Therefore, the name Every Wakes Dream represents wanting to achieve your goals and become something so much more than where you are right now.” Paul Anderson’s hopes “that Every Wakes Dream can stay true to its name and inspire others to be the best that they can be and to never let go of their dreams.” With big aspirations it is sure that Every Wakes Dream will become the wave that he is setting out to be.
