DreamCycle was born after Lynda Upthegrove and Sean Allen met around an outdoor brewery "camp fire" and discovered they had a lot in common musically, with many years of experience as songwriters, performers, and
music teachers. Sean was impressed after listening to Lynda's latest CD on iTunes, and when they got together for there first jam, was happily surprised that she wanted to do the same thing as he did: write and record edgy rock songs with positive lyrics and a lot of human feeling.
Thus their first EP entitled "Sound Canvas One" came into existence. The EP was written and self produced in Ocean Wave Studios in Half Moon Bay, California. Lynda sings all lead vocals and most harmonies. Sean played all the electric and acoustic guitars and most bass. Phil Smith played the drums. They are currently working on new material that they are really excited about.
Sean Allen
Sean Allen fell in love with the guitar as a kid, and by High School he was teaching guitar to 12 students. Starting at age 13 he has played in many different bands playing rock, metal, reagae, ska, pop and punk. He was lucky to play with many outstanding musicians along the way including Eric Valentine (now multi-platinum record producer), and Paul De Lisle, now the bass player for Smashmouth.
Lynda Upthegrove
Lynda has written albums, and has done gigs in London, Birmingham, Liverpool the Shetland Islands, West Virginia, Jamaica and now in California with DreamCycle. Lynda won a John Lennon song writing award for her first album, though the rock direction of DreamCycle is more what she has always been aiming for.
