November 6th, (Fri) 7:30pm "Todalo Shakers" House Concert
The Shakers play vintage jug band, party blues and old time rags & stomps which sound like they are lifted right out of 1928 in Memphis, Tennessee or Dallas, Texas. The band's harmony singing makes for a rich palette of vocal blends and a great feeling of camaraderie; the exuberance and fondness that the musicians feel for their material and for each other is unmistakable.
