Добавлен 30 ноя 2014
The Why Store was formed in the late 1980s in Muncie, Indiana. Lead Singer Chris Shaffer, also a Ball State student, joined the band after a few months and they played a few gigs as Emerald City. In 1995, The Why Store signed to MCA’s subsidiary Way Cool Music for their first major-label effort, a self-titled LP, which was released in 1996.
Their major label debut on MCA Records spawned several hits. The first single, “Lack Of Water”, was a #1 hit on Triple-A Radio; the band performed “Surround Me” on Late Night with Conan O’ Brien and saw their video for “Father” receive rotation on MTV2 and VH1. The Why Store was a Top 20 album for 1996 and went on to sell 200,000 copies.
Some of the artists they shared the stage with include John Mellencamp, The Clarks, The Tragically Hip, Widespread Panic, Eddie Money, Foreigner, Kansas, Train, Cowboy Mouth, Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers, Violent Femmes, Vertical Horizon, Pat Travers, George Clinton, Cracker, Incubus, Hoobastank, & others.

The Why Store - "Blanket Inside" (Live)
During my time at Univ of Illinois, I fondly remembering Why Store playing and then got h-gh with them at an apartment after the show. What a night!
Fuck yeah!
Love The Why Store! All the way from Belize! ❤
Not sure " Why" these guys never made it ..... H U G E !
I did bar recordingsi in as many bars as I could go to from 1990 through 1993. These guys are like family and amazing artists and I’ve seen Chris play the harmonica so long that he had bleeding lips. I have the proof.
Great small town band!!!! Water bowl Muncie IN. Great times back in the day.
RIP JEROME REISKAMP.....Love ya brother
Soundin great, Chris! Thanks for the music you guys... ✨️ 💖
Saw The Why Store, I’m guessing 1996?? Me and a buddy were upstairs having a beer well before the show and Chris walked by. On a whim I blurted out “Can we buy you a beer”? and to our surprise Chris said sure! 2 beers later he went to get ready for the show! Seeing them in Fishers, Indiana this Saturday, can’t wait!!
I used to have a video of Chris playing Lazy River on his guitar while sitting on the trunk of a car in the Vogue parking lot. It must have been like 1993. I really wish I had that video. Later I watched it over and over and figured out how to play it. Those Why Store days were amazing. I hope the band is doing well.
One of the dj's on a local rock station plays this song every Friday at noon!
That's really cool Debra. Rock on!!! What station is it?
Great cover by some great musicians!! Nice job Troy and Jerome both longtime friends..
Thanks Todd. Rock on!
The best original rock ‘n’ roll band ever !!
I wish Troy would learn how to play that song. JS
Totally under rated band. Have some of the best lyrics and a wicked lead guitar.
Troy Seele’s guitar licks have been rocking people out since his days with Ma Kelley!!
I’m amazed how the singer’s vocals go from silk and honey to gravel and broken glass and back in a smooth transition 🍯💣
That's the magic of Chris Shaffer. Simply amazing!
When I’m with you,I forgive the Winter.The only love song lyric that is close to Perfection..
I’ve been a fan for about 30 years..No other band has that Soulful sound and spirit.Just my humble opinion,but I bet I’m not alone…..🎸
Soulful,underrated,I’ve been a fan for 30 years.Timeless..No other band has that sound.
Great band. Still amazed they didn't make it to "the next level."
This is about Jesus isn't it?
Played this song once. Up went a Citgo gas stations just days later. It's been a minute.
any one have a copy of welcome to the why store? I remember I bought mine at the Discount Den and saw them at Headliners! :)
I've lived in Muncie since 1998 and was introduced to The Why Store by MTV when I saw the video for "Father" before I got to BSU. 25 years later and I'm still here with the windows down and the music cranked.
Rock on!!!
Among my favorite bands
Hey it's amber mellentine, my mom was Cindy!! Still love you guys 20 years later ❤❤❤❤❤
Rock on Amber!
Sweet!!!
Been a Why Store fan since early 80`s. Richard and I would follow them around the state having the best of times with Chris and the boy`s. We had many of after show parties with them. old times always the best. lol
Rock on!
Great voice!!!
Thank you! and thanks for the comment
Great band !
I looked for this everywhere. Couldn't find it till today. The Why Stores got what it takes .... to get you high🔥✌😎 The local radio lady Terri plays this as the mid day request hour lead in EVERY FRIDAY at noon.
Brings me back to the Fort Wayne days in the 90s. Good times! Glad you are still jamming.
I saw them on this tour for the first time in Macomb Illinois
Can't wait to see them in Logansport, in tonight
Slightly better or slightly worse?
Hey guys... This is the crazy gin drinker from Terre Haute, IN that was at the show you did in Indy at that Irish Pub. Doing little reminiscing... You guys are the best and miss the vibes your music flows around...🤘✌👊
The Why Store is musical magic ❤️
Love The Why Store!!!!
Ok...Finally got to watch this show. Ok music editor you need to redo this and give some volume to the lead guitar.
damn right - the mix is great notwithstanding that lead...painful to (not) hear those licks
What an amazing treat to have my friends play at my 50th birthday! Thanks Chris, Troy, Dan and Charlie!
My favorite band by far. Met you all when I was in college and took a bunch of your CD's there to hand out. Go to every show I can Here in indy. My ex even sprayed mace at your show at Big Daddys and cleared the joint! Long story....but anyway, you guys rock. Chris your the man!
I love this song
the drummer of this band sold me a drum set when I was like 12
If you don't love this song then you have a you problem
Incredible singer and band!!!
Rock on!
I guess 6 people don't ever want to feel high
Saw them years ago. Incredible concert. Should have made it bigger.
Hoosier style ✌✌
Great band!
The Hi-Fi
