Our StoryBorn in New Orleans. Booked around the world.
Sugar Shaker was built by a veteran entertainer with a simple obsession: the packed, joyful, never-a-dull-moment dance floor. Twenty years later, that obsession has taken us from intimate receptions to arena stages across the globe.
The Secret
Consistency and fun. Every single time.
Sugar Shaker is a diverse team of professional musicians led by an entertainer with two decades of experience setting the standard for live events. We've played weddings and corporate galas, festivals and stadiums, for crowds from 50 to 10,000 — on stages as far-flung as Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
Through all of it, the mission has never changed: get your guests on the dance floor and keep them there all night. We call ourselves The Shakers, and bringing a party to life is the only thing we do.
