When you book with Shakedown, not only do you get great music, you get a dedicated event manager who will walk you through the booking and planning steps and be your on-site go-to person during our performance.

During the planning and discovery stage, we gather vital information to make your vision a reality. We offer tips to optimize our performance and can handle most special song requests. If we can’t play it, we can add it to our recorded music playlist (recorded music is offered during band breaks).
