Shagg is neo-soul meets rock, with a natural sound that evokes classic funk and R&B, along with jazz and worldbeat music.
Band/artist history
Like many bands, Shagg's story started humbly with apartment rehearsals, in their case in Brooklyn, NYC, where the band wrote a dozen tunes. But the band's credibility took a huge leap forward when two of the five songs from their debut EP were named finalists in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
Starpolish critic Joe McCombs called their tune "Shade of Melancholy" "one of the best songs I've heard this year, by artists large or small. It's the track Ben Harper has waited his whole career to make, and by the end of its smoggy-jazz exaltations that 'everything's gonna be all right,' you're guaranteed to believe it regardless of your mood."

Was the biz? I was lookin' through the R&B charts for singers, and came through your page. I peeped most of the songs, and voted for 'em. Tight tracks, I'm feelin' on the real, and you got some good production. Keep it up, keep grindin', and stay motivated. If you get the chance and time hit up my page and bump the audio. -Mr. Kino www.soundclick.com/mrkino www.soundclick.com/pwh www.angelfire.com/tx5/mrkino
