This truly is a legendary band with a legendary front man. J.D. Wilkes (also an accomplished comic artist) has been called by Jello Biafra “…the last great rock’n'roll frontman”
Th’ Legendary Shack*Shakers play a white-hot version of the country blues that has to be seen live to be truly appreciated.


still kicking myself for not being able to make this show. great stage presence
that was amazing.
I know I can always find some good bar band rockin out on HFSL after a long day of work when I kick back with a beer! Thanks Bill for doing the stuff I did 20 years ago.
its 7 in the morning and I’m awake. Thanks!
the shackshakers are my favorite band. i’ve seen them play many times live and it’s always one helluva performance. i highly reccomend to any and everyone to get out and go see them.
These guys are nuts…I can’t wait to play with them THIS SATURDAY AT THE FIREBIRD!!!! (June 20th)
