SHAG is a four piece rock band hailing from Edmonton AB, but originally all four members are from a rural Alberta town called Kitscoty. SHAG mixes all of the bands musical influences into an upbeat rock sound with catchy riffs, singable choruses and explosive guitar solos.
The name “SHAG” originated from the shag carpeted basement where Trevor, Jess and Travis first started jamming in the their early university years then Zack joined the group in late 2015 and added a whole new dimension to the band.
SHAG recorded their first album “Thursday Night Special” at Royal Studio in Edmonton and was released in June of 2018. The lead single “Do Better” gained popularity and scored some local radio airplay and the album was well-received by fans and critics!
Hooking up with Arnel again at Royal Studio SHAG, re-recorded a setlist staple in August of 2019… “MEGALODON”. Which was followed up by a second EP released from the frozen prairies of Canada: “All Supply, No Demand” was released on October 17, 2019.
On August 20, 2021 SHAG returned with their new single “Lying Through Your Teeth Doesn’t Count as Flossing”
SHAG has also shared the stage with great Canadian bands including Captain Tractor, Current Swell, Weaves and Altameda.
