Blues and Bourbon Wednesdays: Mark Hummel and The Deep Basement Shakers

A new collaboration is taking place between these Bay Area Electro-Fi Records bluesmen. Join Mark Hummel and the Deep Basement Shakers as the two entities have locked forces to commit themselves to rockin’ away the pre-war blues and boogie-woogie styles in this piano, acoustic harmonica/vocal, and washboard trio. Specializing in primal, joint-rockin’ barrelhouse blues n’ boogie, the Deep Basement Shakers are an East Bay trio with a stripped down but powerful sound, featuring local traditional American music specialist Aaron Hammerman on piano and guitar, and local percussion legend Dave Eagle (the Right Time, Rusty Zinn, Zamico) on washboard, spoons, suitcase, train whistles, animal calls, and more.

Known for their floor-stomping appearances around the Bay and beyond, the Shakers bring to life good-time, steady-rollin’ grooves from the deep musical traditions of days of old!
