At the tender age of 5, Michael A. Shuttleworth a.k.a. Hammer picked up the
guitar and has not put it down since. Originally from Nazareth, PA Shuttleworth
later moved to Wisconsin and grew up in the city of Tomah, WI. Shuttleworth
started a band called Risk in high school and carried the band name with him to
college. In 1990 Shuttleworth joined with drummer John Janzen and bass
guitarist Kevin Woodhouse to record the college radio hit that you hear You Were
The World To Me with B side track Wasted Time. After several years of
struggling as an originalartist, Shuttleworth joined a band call Stormfront whom
he appeared with at his first National Show at the 1999 Rockfest in Cadott, WI
with Petter Frampton, Joe Walsh, Journey, and Foreigner. Since then
Shuttleworth has played many National Shows and opened for many of his rock
heroes.
Eventually Shuttleworth was called for a fill-in gig as a lead guitarist and back up
singer with the 715 band. Formed with Mike Pfeilsticker, Anthony "Tone"
Robarge, and Johnny "T-Bone" Stanton the band was a huge success often
playing six nights in a row. T-Bone left the band in 2004 and Brandon Onstad
joined 715. Crazy stage antics, humor, ripping guitar solos, and not seen before
band chemistry made Shuttleworth also known as "Hammer" a face
remembered by fans and musicians. 715 released the single I'm Not Alright at
the 2002 Rock Fest in Cadott. 715 continued to play over 100 to 150 shows a
year for five years. Tour dates included back to back county fairs, festivals and
club dates until Shuttleworth left the band in 2005 and started Divided Highway.
Today Shuttleworth continues to play full time, dazzling audiences with amazing
guitar work and incredible vocals. Shuttleworth is currently composing several
different musical projects to be announced.
