When the Sha La Das released their 2018 debut Love in the Wind, the group thought it might be a one-off. Bill Schalda and his talented sons Paul, Will and Carmine created something timeless with their silken family harmonies—following it wouldn’t be easy.
Fortunately, the urge to create kept tugging at the Sha La Das. Musical ideas were passed between members and Thomas Brenneck (Charles Bradley, Menahan Street Band, Lady Wray), who also produced Love in the Wind after being wowed by Bill’s singing. “Bill is the real deal,” Brenneck says. “About as authentic of a doo-wop singer as you can find and an amazing songwriter as well.”
Slowly, a batch of new Sha La Das songs took shape. From that collaboration comes Your Picture, the Sha La Das’ seductively engrossing second album and the first release on Tom Brenneck's own label, Diamond West Records. It’s yet another singular testament to the stirring power of blood harmony and a celebration of the enduring love story between Bill and the family matriarch, Linda.
Traces of old memories flicker through Your Picture. The title track recalls a relationship from long ago, sparked by an old photo. “It’s almost like breaking a dam of feelings that I didn’t even know were there." Says Schalda.
That love radiates throughout the album and the shimmering melodies Bill and his sons' produce. Whether the Sha La Das make another album or not, Bill Schalda and sons are living their musical dream—Your Picture is the proof.
