About the Band
The Shake Daddys was founded by blues singer Dan Schilling, host of the Blues n' Brews in Madison, WI, which boasts over 280 consecutive shows.
The Shake Daddys band consists of seasoned professionals including Bill Roberts on lead guitar, Jimmy James on Keys, Dave Remits on Bass, Mark Munn on Drums, and Dan Schilling on guitar and lead vocals. Together they tout 175 years of musical talent!
The Shake Daddys dish out a sweet mix of Texas, Chicago, Swing, Shuffle, Funk, Jump, and Back-water blues to entertain crowds that love to boogie on their feet or on a barstool. They also throw out some old-school rock n' roll tunes to catch the crowd off guard and make sure everybody has a good time during a show.
As the front man, Dan engages audiences with his sense of humor and lead vocals. He is also a prolific song writer with fans now requesting original Shake Daddys songs along with the uniquely improvised standards.
Dan is known for his fluid vocal styling and has been privileged to share stage as a guest singer with 49 bands across six states and in a cruise ship auditorium with an orchestra. He has performed for crowds of 30 to 3,000 and tries to share what he has inside with all the Shake Daddys fans.
The Shake Daddys goal is to always leave people wanting more, and telling their friends about the band. The band plays songs with just the right beat, rhythm and familiarity to compel the crowd to get up and dance or at least have a great time tapping their toes or snapping their fingers.
