Shakey Trill

2019 International blues challenge finalists

News

Shakey Trill - nominated for

Best New Artist at the 2022 Maple Blues Awards!

 

 "This, their debut, is classic blues the way God (or the devil, if you prefer) intended us to hear it. ‘Nuff said. "

"Alec Fraser’s production on S.T. is exquisitely simple, giving each instrument (including McDonald’s voice) room to express itself without stomping on toes. "

John Kereiff Features - Music Reviews  

Hot Wax Album Reviews by the ROCK DOCTOR August 23, 2021 

 

  

“The two of Shakey Trill are exceptional musicians, who keep roots and blues music alive with their songwriting and hard-mouthed interpretations. It’s wonderful that after difficult months on 'Shakey Trill' there’s not only room for the hardships, but also for some cheerfulness…“

 Eric Schuurman

Bio

Shakey Trill

Shakey Trill is an original, gutsy and raw blues/folk duo from Saugeen Shores, Ontario, Canada.  Shakey was a nickname given to guitarist/vocalist Mike MacDonald because of his jittery hands. Trill, by definition is the sound of two notes being played rapidly back and forth. Tyler Pantlin fittingly exemplifies this with his harmonica technique.

In January 2019 the duo participated at the 35th International Blues Challenge in Memphis Tennessee representing the Bruce County Blues Society.  The challenge was a week long event with performances up and down the famous Beale Street.  They were part of the solo/duo category which included over 80 different acts from around the globe.  Shakey Trill made it into the final round, top 8 spots which earned them the privilege to play at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Memphis.
