Meet The Still Shakers
The Still Shakers sound is an energetic mixture of fast bluegrass and traditional country. We’ll get you up on your feet, dancing and singing along to your new and old favorites. While the band was formed in 2015, the members are no strangers to performing. The creation of The Still Shakers was a result of combing remnants of two successful groups: Carolina Still and Redhorse Black. In the years spent in the previous line-ups, the members have toured all over the US from Vermont to Montana, including appearances on Nashville’s lower Broadway. The beginning of 2017 has seen a new phase for The Still Shakers. We have added a one-mic setup show that allows us to fit perfect into smaller venues such as restaurants, taprooms and other more intimate settings. The full setup has not gone away however! We can and still will blow the faces off crowds of 20 to thousands!
