A grand collective of traveling lifestyle musicians, playing the jazz clubs, symphony orchestras and the rock festivals on their own, or backing up artists such as Taylor Swift, CeeLo Green, Johnossi, Robyn, Ariana Grande, Per Gessle, Ian Hunter, Peter Bjorn and John, Celine Dion, Mike Stern, Yusuf Islam, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Loreen, to name a few
A new album called Yellow, with thirteen maxed out original songs, born and sculpted without restraint in the restrained times of the pandemic, under the intoxication of heroes like Leon Russell, Nina Simone, Lou Reed and Funkadelic
A Swedish eighteen piece progressive R&B big band, convinced that their future listeners will initially be as confused as the young student who appears in the band’s first video about Gutter Queen (where she fell silent for a short moment in her choir class above Howard Johnson’s on the corner of Broadway and 46th Street) only to soon be grinning from ear to ear straight into the loudspeakers as the heavy swinging rock poetry takes hold
The group was founded by Tobbe Fall /guitar & vocal, Jenny Fall /vocal, and Henrik “The Duke of Honk) Widen /vocal & keys, Honk is in addition to being Shuffle Knights’ main songwriter, also co-founder of the Swedish glam band and rock institution Diamond Dogs, and it was therefore only natural to enter into a collaboration with the record label Wild Kingdom Records
The other members of Shuffle Knights are: Ola Bothzen /drums. Måns Block /drums. Sara Niklasson /violin & backup vocal. Per Björling /bass & backup vocal. Jonas Lindeborg /trumpet & backup vocal.
