We play electric blues, with influences from Chicago all the way down to Texas with side-trips to Florida and the Bayou. There’s just a hint of country in there too. The band has run for 5 years, first as Maxwell Street Blues Band and for the last 2 years as Blues Shakeout. We offer a basically uptempo Rhythm & Blues experience and have successfully played repeat gigs ranging from ‘listening’ audiences at pub, club and specialist venues, through to ‘mad-for-it’ jive dancing club audiences.
