Formed in the summer of 2016, Shake ‘Em Up is a New Orleans-based band playing early American music, including New Orleans style traditional tunes and swing. Originally a pickup band comprised of working musicians brought together for a Girls Rock New Orleans performance, the band immediately garnered positive attention (and gigs), influencing its members to keep the personal and musical chemistry rolling. Seven years, four albums and five international tours later, the band continues to expand their repertoire and musicality, their popularity at home in New Orleans, and their national and international notoriety.
