The Shakes

A Utah Blues Band

Authentic blues music, from soulful to rocking, this is what you need in your life! Equally at home for summers in the back yard as they are at festivals and city celebrations, their music is equal parts Chicago, Memphis, and West Coast. Feeling blue? Their music will lift you up! Ready to dance, jump, and shake it? This music is the ticket.

Have Guitar, Will Travel

The Shakes have performed all over Utah, from ski resorts to back room bars, this band has seen some miles! The typical lineup is guitar/vocals, bass, and drums, and from there you can customize it by adding keys, organ, harmonica, or saxophone.

Don’t just take our word for it, watch this:

The Personnel

Our fearless leader is Gary, and the rest of the band is whoever can keep up with him! Gary has been shredding and singing for decades and brings a depth of knowledge and experience unparalleled by anybody in Utah.

We’re always adding to our setlist as we fall in or out of love with different songs. Here’s what currently makes our hearts race.
