Shell-Shocked by the Groove
“Just One Shell, But Somehow a Whole Damn Band”
Who needs four musicians when you’ve got one with commitment issues and too many instruments?
Shell brings the sax, slaps the bass, shreds the guitar, and tickles the keys — all without spilling his drink.
Expect funky grooves, jazzy feels, and enough gear on stage to confuse airport security.
Get ready for one guy…
…playing like five.
