Back Story
The Treeshakers' sound is rooted in Chicago’s school of Power Pop, in the tradition of Pezband, Cheap Trick, Shoes, and Material Issue. From there, the group branches out and refines their sound, combining it with hard-driven dual-guitars to create what only can be described as Massive Power Pop.
Founded by Tony Hunt (bass guitar and vocals), the Treeshakers stay true to their Power Pop roots with 3-chord songs about the love found and love lost experiences of the everyday soul. Mark Raymond (lead guitar) and Vee Dougherty (guitars) create the churn and chime with their guitars and backup vocals, and the mighty rhythm of accomplished drummer Joe Pokra powers the band.
Now booking venues, the Treeshakers are doing what they do best: Giving their audience a good time. Remember: It's not just Power Pop…it's Massive Power Pop!
