History
Formed by singer/guitarist Shaynanigans on the dewy plains of Denver, CO in 2012, The Paddy Shaggers were originally an acoustic trio. Alas, it was time for Shaynanigans to come back home to AZ. In late 2016, the wayward Shaynanigans met a little-known drummer called Jimmy Bang, busking for artesian beer samples in the mean streets of Chandler. The dynamic duo decided that they weren't good-looking enough to become famous rock stars; so, they enlisted the dashing Mighty Joe to lay down some phat bass. Turns out he can pick a mean banjo too. The reborn Paddy Shaggers cruisied along through 2017, when it was decided they needed a shredding soloist. Enter, Shantala. With Shantala killin' it on tin whistle/flute/harmonica, The Paddy Shaggers started playing shows and laying down shagtastic music all over the valley of the sun in 2018. What more could you ask for? Bagpipes. Well, we got 'em; in the form of Ms. Stephanie Pack. Now complete, The Paddy Shaggers' shagtasticness is here for you.
