Shaky Trade was formed in Ogden, UT in 2004 by childhood friends Billy Bommer (saxes, vocals), Greg Shaw (bass), and Simon Crompton (guitar).
Picking up their respective instruments in high school, the three played in and around the Utah scene with several local groups. After witnessing a Weber State University Jazz Ensemble performance, the trio approached members Chris Clemons (brass, vocals) and Michael Wong (drums), and the newly formed quintet began rehearsals in
the back room of a local tile shop. The five were able to find common ground and inspiration in groups as disparate as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phish, and Jurassic 5, and a potent sound began to take shape. Consisting of fresh horn licks, a rock solid rhythm section, and tasty melodies, the group quickly established a fiercely loyal fanbase.
The group traveled to California in 2006 to commence recording on their self-titled debut album. After laying down basic tracks at Expression College for Digital Arts in Berkeley, the album was finished back in Ogden with the help of keyboardist/engineer Bobby Jensen (Garth Brooks, Bobby McFerrin, Todd Rundgren) and released in early 2007. Shaky Trade continued performing relentlessly, garnering a reputation for their sweaty live shows and tightly constructed tunes. Spots opening for John Scofield and LBC followed; the band was also featured in the 2007 Utah Arts Festival.
Utah scene mainstay Jebu was enlisted to helm the production of the follow-up to 'Shaky Trade'. Collaboration ensued, and 'Code Green' was released in November 2008. Boasting 13 dense tracks guaranteed to switch the booty, the album also features guest spots from Johnny Saxman, Jebu, and Dr DK. With no plans to stop doing what they do best, Shaky Trade continues to set off the party at a venue near you.
It seems that Christmas time is here once again, and it is time again to bring in the New Year. We wish the merriest of Christmas to you and your loved ones, and we wish you happiness and prosperity in the year ahead. Yola
