About shagbark

Shagbark is a four-piece rock band that worships at the temple of funk. Heavily influenced by The Meters and The JBs, Shagbark sets up a groove like no other band in the New Hampshire seacoast area. The instrumentation is as stripped down as it gets; a two piece drum set, a four string electric bass, electric guitar (light on the effects of course), and a vocalist. No frills, no hair obsession, no goofy stage clothes, no nonsense. The band is fronted by singer/rapper/poet/actor Mickey Blanchette. Mickey’s long time musical associate (Choosy Moms) Chip Brindamour plays bass, Jim Rudolf formerly of 6th Root plays drums. Shagbark’s guitarist is the enigmatic Spidy, a rhythm guitarist in the tradition of Jimi Hendrix and Ernie Isley. Shagbark is a smart, funky rock band that gives the audience a pony they can ride all the way home.
