THE PHANTOM SHAKERS

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)Howdy Hepcats & Kittens!The Phantom Shakers is a Detroit-based traditional Rockabilly band featuring the velvety voice of Elle Mae on vocals backed by the twangy bobbin' sounds of Markie D. on guitar & Gordo on upright bass. Honorary Members include: Mitch Mann on Steel & Mandolin and Drummers Johnny Mitchell & Paul StruthersThis is Rockbilly music in it's purest form honoring the artists & sounds that inspired & paved the way for such "Rock 'n' Roll" groups as the Beatles, Led Zepplin & Jeff Beck, just to name a few.Check them out the next time they are playing at a juke joint near you and remember they called it "Rockbilly" long before it was called "Rock 'n' Roll"...COMING SOON TO A JOINT NEAR YOU...
