The Shakes Society

THE BEST BAND IN THE BAY AREA!!

The Shakes Society is a multi-talented, multi-instrumental band. Our unique blending of Soul, Funk, Ska and Rock is like no other band, creating our own unique genre, not easily fitting into traditionally defined categories.

Featuring 4 horns, we preform the best classic dance music of our lives including THE BLUES BROTHER’S REVIEW

The Shakes Society is a very interactive experience so don’t be surprised if you find yourself dancing with the horn players as they cruise through the crowd. We are always dancing, moving and singing. We never cease to amaze. Be ready to dance and sing and party because there is no way to escape the groove in the room!

The only thing to do now is to experience us for yourselves at a live show. Scroll down and check out our event schedule and come on out and join The Shakes Society, the most entertaining, fun band on the planet!!
