Newyopercussion
…is a new contemporary percussion quartet out of Youngstown, OH. Founding members Dean Anshutz,
Matt Hayes and Bob Young are all alumni of the Dana School of Music at Youngstown State University.
They formed this ensemble in order to professionally continue their passion for creating and performing
percussion chamber music. Newyopercussion emerges from Northeast Ohio to excite and entertain audiences
from all walks of life with performances that not only include contemporary repertoire, but masterworks
from the past, and groundbreaking newly commissioned pieces. In addition to public performances, Newyo
strongly believes in supporting arts education in the community and throughout academia by offering residencies,
clinics, and master classes at various schools and other institutions of public learning.

Dean Anshutz
Through versatility, skill, and creativity, Dean Anshutz has established himself as a young talent and total percussionist. Crafting
a career that has taken him from underground rock clubs to the concert hall and everything in between, there isn’t much he hasn’t
experienced. Coming from North East Ohio, Dean earned a Bachelors degree in classical performance from Youngstown State

University. While in school, he had the privilege to give the world premiere of Ziggurat by jazz drummer and composer John
Hollenbeck at the Whitney Art Museum in NYC, retained an aggressive schedule with Matrix indoor percussion ensemble,
and won the principle percussion chair with the Ohio Light Opera Orchestra. Immediately following his tenure with the OLO,
Dean began work on a project as drummer and musical director of The Daughters of Intention, a band playing the music of Frank
Zappa. He finished his degree and took the caption head position writing, and instructing the YSU Drum Line. Soon after
graduation, Dean was asked to join national touring act, Red Wanting Blue. The band keeps an active touring scheduled with
over 100 shows per year nationally and has played along with Brandi Carlisle, John Prine, Kacey Musgraves, The Flaming Lips,
OAR, and many other major acts. Dean with Red Wanting Blue have performed on The Late Show with David Letterman, VH1’s
Big Morning Buzz, NPR’S Mountain Stage and headlined venues and festivals all over the country. Along with nonstop touring,
writing, recording with RWB, Dean is co-founder of the Newyopercussion Quartet, active member of the Youngstown Scoring
Stage, member of Nouveau rock band The Zou, auxiliary percussionist with experimental rock band Sam Goodwill and active
freelance percussionist. Drawing on such a diverse musical background, Dean’s blend of all styles of drumming, complemented
by his creative use of auxiliary percussion, create a unique sound that defines Dean in the music industry.
Matthew Hayes
Matthew Hayes grew up in Coshocton, Ohio and graduated from River View High School. In 2001, he began pursuing a music
education degree at Capital University where he studied percussion under Bob Breithaupt. He left in 2004 and began teaching
percussion back at River View, where he was hired as the Director of Percussion and directed marching, concert, and indoor
percussion rehearsals, directed, composed, and arranged for the Caribbean Percussion Ensemble, and taught private lessons.
In 2006, Matt was a member of Matrix Indoor Percussion Ensemble under the direction of Rob Ferguson.
In 2008, Matt began his studies at Youngstown State University under Dr. Glenn Schaft, where he performed with numerous
jazz, chamber, and large ensembles. A recent graduate of YSU's Dana School of Music, he is currently a freelance professional
musician in the Youngstown area and is performing with such groups as The Youngstown Scoring Stage, The All-Ohio State Fair
Youth Choir, and The Labra Brothers. Outside of music, Matt dreams of hiking the Appalachian Trail and growing a beard.

Bob Young
Born and raised in the Youngstown area, Bob Young has established and maintained a strong foundation in the region as a
percussionist and educator. Bob received a Bachelors degree in Music Education from Youngstown State University's Dana
School of Music. In that time, he served in many of the top ensembles crossing a variety of music atmospheres. Also serving as
president of the Youngstown Percussion Collective, Bob led the commission and world premier of faculty composer Dave
Morgan's Forms of Things Unknown, traveled and performed with both Matrix Indoor Marching Percussion Ensemble and
Glassmen Drum and Bugle Corps, and served as auxiliary percussionist in the YSU Frank Zappa Ensemble. Bob also maintained
an active studio of private percussion students, and held a number of drum line and front ensemble instructor positions ranging
from Youngstown to the Akron area, including one season instructing the YSU Marching Pride Drum line.
Since graduation, Bob has expanded his private percussion studio, teaching students from the Youngstown area and Chagrin
Falls, Ohio as well as working with several marching bands each season. Maintaining an active performance schedule, he is an
active member of the Youngstown Scoring Stage, and performs numerous musicals with the Youngstown Playhouse and various
other area theaters. Bob is a co-founder of the Newyopercussion Quartet and also performs, writes, and records with regionally
touring experimental rock band Sam Goodwill.
