BIO
 

“The Boneshakers are a soulful tour de force in the way they seem to summon the very essence of R&B and the blues. They are that prolific and that good!” Big City Rhythm & Blues Magazine

“…a timely reminder that Randy Jacobs – best-known as the right hand for Was (Not Was) -ranks among the low-down-funkiest guitar players out of Motor City…[Live To Be This is] an album poised between Detroit soul, golden-era Muscle Shoals and Dobro porch blues” Classic Rock Magazine

“One Foot In The Groove however is a glorious, life-affirming celebration of their blues-infused funk and rock.  A very impressive release.” Blues Blast Magazine

Randy Jacobs is one of the funkiest and most original guitar players on Earth.  His musical genius is on vivid display in this new album which, contrary to the title, finds him up to his knees with both feet deep in the groove.  Jenny Langer’s powerful vocals provide the perfect counterpoint…this is the best Boneshakers record to date.”   – Don Was

“When you see Jenny Langer and Randy Jacobs perform as The Boneshakers, what strikes you immediately, (in addition to their profound musical talent), is their unique style and engaging chemistry.  Randy projects a calm demeanor but with suaveness, which is a combination only accomplished through decades of experience in the music industry.  (Audiences will likely remember him from the band Was (Not Was).)   Jenny has a million-dollar smile and a sexy confidence that draws the audience to her before they even hear her amazing vocals.” Blues Blast Magazine.  

The iconic band lead by world-renowned guitarist Randy Jacobs of Was (Not Was).  The Boneshakers and members have toured and recorded with Bonnie Raitt, BB King, Buddy Guy, Seal, Keb Mo, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Mindi Abair, Bootsy Collins, Tears 4 Fears, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Iggy Pop…just to name a few.   A stirring blend of Detroit soul with Muscle Shoals-style R&B on full display every show.
