Shaky Feelin'

It’s always a big deal to see who’s going to land the coveted New Years Eve gig at the Crazy Horse. Continuing a long line of epic bands on this occasion is Shaky Feelin’. Following up on their mind-blowing performance at Rosebud Ranch this summer, the full-throttle jamband from Ventura, CA is the ultimate musical agent to send us blissfully spiraling into 2025. They are fueled by a source of overflowing positivity, remarkable talent and an insatiable intent to move audiences at their very core.

Led by the visionary guitar playing and powerful vocal presence of Mark Masson, this band delivers one awe-inspiring moment after the next. A card-carrying disciple of the Trey Anastasio school of bad-assery, Masson’s soaring style and buttery tone launches listeners into the galactic garden of delights. As the night progresses, they’ll siphon the simmering energy into their collective well, voyaging deeper into the improvisational vortex. We can be certain there will be junctures where you find yourself thinking, “I can’t believe how good these guys are!”

In addition to their Phish influences, Shaky draws heavily from the Grateful Dead, String Cheese Incident, reggae, bluegrass and all the best classic rock. Voracious live music lovers themselves, they possess an intuitive sense of knowing exactly what each show calls for in any given moment. Prepare for an all-out dance party as the intricate bass grooves of Jeff Hiller and polyrhythmic drumming of Paul Menchaca open gateways into alternate dimensions. Keyboardist Michael Berkey weaves melodic, technicolor threads throughout the mix. It’s one of those “more than the sum of its parts” situations. Just what the doctor ordered to coalesce all the vibes of ’24 and transmute them into something even more magnificent!
