Guitarist/singer-songwriter, Will Shackleton weaves influences of Blues, Country and Rock, around honest songwriting about life's twists and turns. As a session guitarist in London he has worked with renowned artists and musicians, including memorable sessions at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and Abbey Road Studios.
In early 2023 he took a road-trip from London to Granada, immersing himself in the beauty and stillness of the Sierra Nevada Mountains for two months of songwriting. Whilst there he performed his songs at Escondido Festival as the Will Shackleton Band, alongside local musicians Cote Calmet (drums), Tommy Moore (bass) and fellow London-based guitarist, Rich Austin (slide guitar).
The four-piece completed their first tour of Andalusia in December 2023, performing five shows in six days and finishing the tour with an unforgettable night at Lemonrock, Granada. Before returning to London, the band spent an afternoon at Gismo7 Studios, capturing ‘Travelling Light’, ‘Two Tequila Kiss’ and ‘Barcelona’, live and on film.
The Will Shackleton Band will be touring Andalusia and London in August 2024 with their debut album set for release later this year.
