You want beat? You got it! The Cavern Club’s resident Merseybeat group, The Shakers are regularly ‘beating it up’ at their twice-weekly residency at the world famous venue, where they have brought the original Mersey Sound back to where it once belonged. These four lads from Liverpool celebrate the birth of the Mersey ‘beat’ just as it was in the early 60s, with a repertoire ranging from raw Hamburg rockers to the Cavern ‘beat boom’ hits.
They have appeared at major shows all over the UK, Europe and the Middle East and have backed many 60s beat legends along the way, such as Tony Sheridan, Beryl Marsden, Kingsize Taylor and Lee Curtis. Earlier this year they made a dynamic debut appearance in the USA, at the ‘Abbey Road On The River’ Beatles festival in Kentucky to a fab Stateside reception.
Their CD EP’s, ‘CAVERN STOMPIN’ & ‘MACH SCHAU!’ have sold well globally and recently attained the top twenty on a number of radio stations in the USA. With a full-length vinyl LP also on the way later in the year, there’s definitely a whole lotta Shakers going on!
Now, you too can experience real Liverpool beat direct from Number 10, Mathew Street! So, let’s go down the Cavern and twist ‘n’ shout with The Shakers –“The best Merseybeat group out of Liverpool since the 60s!” – THE BEAT magazine.
