Started in 1997 by five friends living in the same Brooklyn neighborhood, Shagg is rock/pop that gets a groove on. We've twice been a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and a CMJ editors' pick for the American Music Awards. Here's what some nice folks had to say about us: "Shagg's melding of blues, jazz, rock, and funk elements is a winning combination. Vocalist Aaron Mitchell is clearly the centerpiece of this record: he comes at notes from unexpected angles, delivering hits like a sneaky boxer, always disarmingly soulful. [The band's] musicianship is tasteful and tight, and the songs are a seamless and highly recommended soul-rock mélange." - Joe McCombs, All Music Guide "Fresh, fat and funky, Shagg will have you break a sweat just listening, no movement necessary. It's the exuberant and funkadelic title track [Buh Ba Ba Ba] that will force you finally out of your chair and into the street." - Kevan Breitinger, Indie-Music.com
