Fronted by Singer/Song-writer Ella Fontaine, with Rupert Jenner on electric guitar, Toby Mellonie on double-bass, and Billy Bakos driving the drum beat, this four piece ‘filly-billy’ band is sweetening the palate of Bris-Vegas rockers. With their own high-energy brand of music, the Sugar Shakers represent the styles and sounds of the late forties , right through to the early sixties.
But this is no tribute band!
The Sugar Shakers have been a mainstay on the Brisbane music scene for 10 years, and play a mix of lesser known hits that celebrate the styles of: rockabilly, rock’n’roll, swing and blues, as well as a solid number of originals songs.
