Shag

Description:
Shag has well over 300 different songs that they can pull off on any given night, and the list continues to grow. Most bands follow a strict regimen of set lists each time they play, with little to no deviation. If you happen to catch Shag on two consecutive nights, it's unlikely that you'll hear them repeat more than a couple songs.

Names of band members:
Chuck Travis, Jr., Blaine Anderson, Dave Dave Cywinski , Jake Blake

Style:
Rock, Blues

Influences:
It's not uncommon to hear Shag play a selection of oldies from Elvis or Buddy Holly, country chestnuts by Johnny Cash or Eddie Rabbit, mullet-inspired arena rock by Styx or Journey, R&B hits from James Brown or Stevie Wonder, one-hit wonders like "Brandy" or "Black Betty," '80s new wave by Duran Duran or A Flock of Seagulls, late '80s hair/leather metal from Bon Jovi or GNR, early '90s jam-band favorites by Phish or Dave Matthews Band, later '90s rockers by the Chili Peppers or Rusted Root, and plenty of "AOR" classics by Steely Dan, Rush, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Police, The Eagles, David Bowie, Tom Petty, Queen, AC/DC, The Cars, Pink Floyd, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Paul Simon, Led Zeppelin... the list literally goes on and on.
