NYC SOUNDTRACKS CONTINUES WITHOUT SHAKERLEG
"NYC Soundtracks" is a new reality show on the MSG channel (check cable listing) looking to find the best subway performer.
Shakerleg has asked for your votes but somehow his time on this show has come to an end.
A sincere thanks to all who voted last week. We believe Shakerleg is, and will always be, New York City's best and most intense subway performer but due to recent filming restrictions by the MTA, the MSG network has had no choice but to shoot in other locations. Often with no spectators. The lasting effect that Shakerleg has on his audiences night after night underground was simply not captured in a corner office of the current episode 5. (available on the MSG ON DEMAND section of their website HERE. Click 2nd "episode 5" tab on player) Shakes is quite proud of his performance and appreciates the beautiiful images of East Pleasant Pictures...

Shakerleg in Modern Drummer Magazine
Shakerleg was profiled in Modern Drummer Magazine, the "World's #1 Drum Magazine." For most drummers this would be a dream come true, but for a guy who has dedicated himself to playing the streets and subways, this is nearly unheard of and has thrown Shakerleg into the international spotlight.
