This band sure knows how to rock a wedding!
We hired The Shakedown to play at our wedding and they CRUSHED IT! We initially saw them play at a smaller venue and thought they would bring great energy to our wedding, and they sure did. Mike was great to work with. He was extremely responsive to our questions and getting us a contract and following up on the set list and pre-wedding meeting. Once the party kicked off, you couldn’t get people off the dance floor --- one great song after the next and the best part is that you can tell they have so much fun while rocking out! The singers are great and the band is so versatile in what they can play. We even had a few special requests that they learned for us! We got so many compliments from the guests, asking who they were and telling us how amazing they were. We highly recommend them for a wedding, especially if you want the dance floor to be rocking

Great Dance Party Band!
I hired The Shakedown to entertain guests at Birthday House Party. They were quick to respond to set up and confirm date and answered all my questions promptly. They were clean cut, professional, polite. And on top of all of that--they rocked! Great set list of covers. Great lead voices that can cover anything from 60's classics, 70's funk, 80's hair bands through today's favorites. I danced all night. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they were and how great they sounded. I would hire them in a flash next time we're in need of a band! You'll love them!!!
