More about the band...
Formed in the winter of 2007, Aaron Williams (Vocals, Guitar), Eric Shackelford (Drums, Vocals) and Z (Bass, Vocals) have the blues deeply rooted in the music they love to play.
Aaron, like so many other determined young player's had a veteran musician to 'cut his teeth' with. None other then his father Cadillac Joe Andersen. At the age of 16, Aaron picked up the guitar and became obsessed with the instrument. At the ripe old age of 18 he was already sneaking into some of the areas top jams and was keeping up with veteran players. Aaron still credits these years as the stepping stone to the kind of player he is today.
Yearning for that hard driving sound, Aaron knew his calling was in the blues world and decided to strike out on his own. Mixing blues, funk and some rock is the heart of this trio. 'The blues ain't about being sad, it's about making people feel good.'
Holding down the funky grooves is Z on bass. Z's no stranger to the music scene, playing anything from funk to jazz; he dials it in and keeps the crowds moving. Z's on stage groove shakin' gets the crowd up and dancing in no time.
The beat goes on with Eric 'Shack' Shackelford on drums. With too many awards to list, he is a true professional in the sense. His love for funk and blues makes for the perfect harmony of the two when drumming for the Hoodoo. Always with a smile on his face you can't help but tap your toes to his funky beats.
Aaron Williams and the Hoodoo are poised to take its place as one of the finest trio's in the Midwest today. Get ready for some high octane blues for you!
