THE SHACK BAND


BIO:
Starting out as a quartet during their college years practicing their music in a shack, The Shack Band is now building a reputation for their off the cuff live shows and an original sound—an improvisational blend of funk, blues, and progressive rock. Back in 2008, when The Shack Band was still getting their feet wet, they were famous for their energetic live shows at colleges throughout Virginia and the Southeast. But with a new group of enthusiastic songwriters among them, the band has moved on to larger venues and opening for some of the nations top touring acts. The Shack Band's first EP, Born & Raised, is due out February 24th, 2012.
