A dynamic band of talented musicians who have been performing in their respective musical careers for decades, Shakedown is exploding onto the Austin cover music scene. They are energetic and entertaining, fun but not campy, dazzlingly talented but fully approachable, and all-around great folks to dance the night away to at a club or hire for your next big event. Praised for their lively and engaging stage presence, the two vibrant lead vocalists backed by four blazing, accomplished, and precise musicians energize crowds and bring smiles to faces all around Austin. With a repertoire ranging from today's hottest hits to the 80's songs you used to tape off the radio, to groovin' 70's disco/soul tunes that make you want to get your boogie on, to timeless 60's classics that bring the house down, Shakedown stops at nothing to bring you the best party, ever.


We've already got our clients talking:

" Shakedown ROCKS! Put on a great show with very little notice. Very easy to work with and absolute pleasure to listen to." - Nick Capozzi, Kempner TX

"Shakedown's performance at our wedding reception was great. The band provided high energy entertainment and music that everyone enjoyed." - Isaac and Susan Grombacher, Austin TX

"You and your group were just SPECTACULAR! I have heard nothing but compliments over the quality of your music, the incredible talent of the singers and the general appearance and musical energy of the band. We were absolutely thrilled with you." - Susan Rubino, ICA

"I was extremely impressed with the Shakedown band. They were extremely professional. Shakedown had everyone up and dancing. The singers were wonderful." - Lou Acoppola, ICA

"This band was AWESOME!!! Everyone walked out at the end of the night dripping with sweat from dancing to their songs." - Jessica Wurzbach, San Antonio TX

"Shakedown was wonderful from start to finish! They kept in constant contact throughout the wedding planning process and they put on a GREAT show! We danced all night and the only downside was that it had to end! They have a great variety of music and will learn special songs for you as well. I highly recommend them and I know you will not be disappointed!" - Taryn Trevino, Austin TX

"You were by far our most seamless vendor in this whole deal and I cannot thank you enough for delivering exactly what you said you would, and, more importantly, communicating clearly throughout the whole process. You guys rock, have great sound and equipment, and I would certainly book you again. Our guests keep mentioning how the dance floor was the place to be, and that was our goal the whole time." - Ben Volkmer, Austin TX

"Wedding planning is stressful. If you do not wish your band to add to this stress, book Shakedown. They were dependable, responsive, prepared, on time, were EASY to deal with, EASY to pay, and most importantly, coach you through the whole process. As far as the music itself, they kept the tempo up, had all their ducks in a row, were practiced and tight, and I know without a doubt that ALL of our guests had a great time. There are a lot of crooks in the wedding/event business who disappear after you give them your deposit, only to reappear just in time to throw things together. Not them. Don't pay $5K for a band! Book Shakedown and spend the rest on booze!" - Erica Evenson, Austin, TX

"Shakedown was absolutely wonderful. They were great to work with leading up to the wedding in coordinating songs for the wedding and accomodating our wedding schedule. Once the wedding started, they blew our guests out of the water. Just about everyone came up to me and told me how great the band was. They were a lot of fun and had great crowd interaction. They used their lighting system well to enhance the party. They have a wide variety of songs that they can play and play well at that. I would recommend the Shakedown to anybody planning a wedding or a party." - Blayne Rhynsburger, Austin, TX

"You and your band are just wonderful! You did such a great job last night. That dance floor was never empty. Everyone commented on how much they just loved you. I cannot thank you enough for your willingness to work with Lou and I during the past months, choosing and preparing music that would make the ICA party guests happy. You were a true delight to work with and I could not be happier today. I'll be back to you after the holidays once we settle on plans for next year. Thanks again for everything you all did." - Susan Rubino, Austin, TX
