STELLA & THE SHAKES
Stella and the Shakes draw on blues, jazz, soul, gospel and rock ‘n’ roll influences to create a unique and eclectic concoction of sonic brilliance.
In 2013, inspired by influences from Ray Charles to Puccini, Stella and her band “The Shakes” [Will Jackson (drums), Jack Gillen (guitar) and Lyle Holloway (bass)], formerly known as StellaStar, released their debut EP, “Blossom”, to great acclaim
‘With hints of Blues and Jazz, the soulful project represents something richer and more textured than the current minimalist singer/songwriter trend.’ RWD mag
‘We expect big things for this young starlet!’ SBTV
‘Stella instantly reminded me of Baby from Dirty Dancing – delicate, smooth, cheeky and talented. Her initially shy stage presence completely vanishes when she starts to sing and her live show is gracious, flawless and entertaining.’ Sian Anderson – Radio 1Xtra
