In Shapiro’s beginning, Teter’s songwriting was heavily influenced by classic greats like The Beatles, Supertramp and Queen. As his writing continued to evolve, he added more indie-rock influences like Spoon, Wilco and the Arcade Fire. Lyrically, Teter draws much from his own life experiences; topics range from love and breakups to religion to the stresses of being on the road.
Since their inception, these independent rockers have devoted themselves to extensive touring around the U.S., each night being reminded of the friends and fans that keep them going. Shapiro is hallmarked for their energetic, unique, and fun-loving live show. Fans are kept on the edge of their seat as Shapiro manages to tear through their set-lists with an energy that at times seems nearly out of control. The group now has over 300 shows under their belt and has played with other renowned acts such as Mute Math, The Walkmen, The Antlers, Cage the Elephant, Mae and more.
With producer / engineer John Mark Painter (Ben Folds, Death Cab for Cutie, John Mayer) at the helm, the group recorded and released their debut self-titled album in 2010. The record is comprised of songs written over the course of the bands tenure. Fun, catchy and theatrical, the record is sure to please old fans as well as attract new ones. Shapiro continues their rigorous U.S. touring in support of this recent release. For more information, visit www.shapiropeople.com.

Shapiro's song "Prelude in 2-3" contains the classic Latin prayer "Ave Maria." The prayer is a form of a salutation meaning "Hail Mary" or "Greetings Mary" and is typically used by Roman Catholics when reciting the Rosary. The lyrics reflect the prayer's reverence for Mary as the mother of Jesus, and its plea for her intercession on behalf of sinners, both in this life and at the hour of death.
The first stanza of the prayer begins with the greeting "Ave Maria" followed by the phrase "gratia plena," which means "full of grace." This is a reference to the belief that Mary was born without original sin, making her worthy to bear the Son of God. The phrase "benedicta tu in mulieribus" means "blessed art thou among women," further emphasizing Mary's special role in salvation history. The stanza concludes with the invocation "ave dominus tecum," meaning "Hail, Lord is with thee," acknowledging Mary's close relationship with God as the mother of Christ.
The second stanza of the prayer shifts the focus to Mary's role as the mother of humanity. The phrase "mater Dei" means "Mother of God," acknowledging her pivotal role in bringing Jesus Christ into the world. The stanza asks Mary to pray for the forgiveness of sins and to intercede on behalf of all humanity, both now and at the hour of death.
Overall, Shapiro's rendition of "Ave Maria" is a beautiful tribute to the prayer's enduring impact on the spiritual lives of millions of people around the world.

I support Trump, but I do not support the Republican party. THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND GROW SOME SPINES, OR MOVE TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WHERE THEY TRULY BELONG!

Actually celebrating America and the reasons we’re as fortunate as we are today is only happening on one side of the aisle these days.
@therockinboxer
They're celebrating alright, but with sex, drugs and violence. Babylon will fall
