Shady Grady & the Nobodies

 Hailing from Chicago, IL, Shady Grady & The Nobodies (SGN) play a uniquely diverse brand of funk, blues, and rock. Beginning in a high school band room, guitarist Bill Grady, keyboardist Jack Weisenberger, and drummer Jimmy Walsh would jam late into the night after their high school jazz band rehearsals. After years of improvising in the blues and jazz styles, the three enlisted funk bassist Mike Palma to join them. Their newfound blue-funk sound gave birth to Shady Grady & The Nobodies, the newest and funkiest member of the Chicago music scene. SGN bring their 4-piece tour-de-force to the masses and have since been performing their brand of funky, bluesy, triptacular rock at local Chicago venues. With influences like The Allman Brothers, P-Funk, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd, the electric pulse wave of a live Shady Grady show is more than enough to get the brain sizzling and the bodies moving. SGN released their debut LP, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, on July 24th, 2011 and are currently preparing for their summer 2012 tour of the East Coast and the Southern U.S.
