Shamati

Based in Oakland CA

Does the music move you?  Literally?  Spiritually?  That’s the only rule for us. We are built to move your party. 

We are a versatile band that can play Bluegrass, Motown, Classic Rock, Hora, Latin, Oldies and just about everything in between.  We bring the party to the next level - whether that be to your wedding or special event.

We can do light, mellow ambiance music to have your guests feel at ease as well as solid booty-shaking favorites that will get the crowd moving.  Our core group is guitar, violin, bass and drums with sweet harmonies and we often add mandolin, piano, female vocals or other instruments to cater to the specific needs of the event.  

We love the opportunity to take control of announcements and the flow of an event and love to add in fun things like personal trivia or interviews with particular guests to keep things light and fun.

All our players are super pro -- with members having played in Edward Sharpe, Melvin Seals and JGB, La Misa Negra, China Cats, Antioquia and more.  We are easy to work with and aim to please our clients.

Can't wait to help you make your event awesome!!
