Shyanne aka: Cold Power, Cheyenne --- Spokane-Seattle, Washington 1970 ~ Present In 1970, Eric Burgeson joined a heavy blues/rock band from Spokane, WA called Cold Power. He played rhythm guitar and slide. During that time he attended Eastern Washington State College, where he studied string bass and music theory. The spring of 1970 brought a move to Los Angeles, and a new scene. The band became “Cheyenne”, and the music became more commercial, some of it penned by Eric. In the early fall of 1971, the band recorded an EP at Larabee Studios in L.A. and moved back to Spokane to release a single in the Pacific Northwest. The result was “Love and Hate” becoming a #1 regional hit in Boise Idaho, and a double bill with the James Gang at Boise State. In the spring of 1972, the band moved to Seattle and quickly caught on in the club scene. Seattle became home. Known now as “Shyanne”, this time ushered in a prolific song writing period with now world known primitive artist, Terry Turrell. The result was an original sound that provided many opening spots at the Paramount Theater. Many songs and recording sessions culminated in the sale of 3 songs to Marty Balin, lead singer for the “Jefferson Airplane/Starship”, in 1980. Marty’s solo album went gold in Japan, and Eric and Terry received a gold record in 1981.
