Shake Stew

Vienna-based Shake Stew is currently the hippest band in its home country and they’re also creating a buzz outside. With no less than three horn players, two bassists and two drummers, the band has enough firepower to blow away any festival. Their trance-like jazz touches on afro-beat and North-African desert blues. Alongside bass, band leader Lukas Kanzelbinder regularly plays the guebri, the Moroccan bass lute. One day prior to this concert Shake Stew will release its new album Gris Gris.
