NEW ALBUM: Wabi-SSSabi — inspired by the acceptance of transience and imperfection…
…Characteristics of wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry roughness, simplicity economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and the appreciation of natural objects and the forces of nature…
…Wabi-SSSabi….
Sweet Rock n Roll makes you want to get Funky ...and that's what Stone Sugar Shakedown is all about. Each free-spirited performance invites people of all ages & backgrounds to smile, laugh, dance, sing, twirl & whirl, while enjoying the good vibes created by The Shakedown's love for sugary harmonies & thumpin' rhythms.
