Based in Ocean Beach/Point Loma, Americana quintet the Cedar Shakers blend elements of folk, country, blues, rock 'n' roll and bluegrass. Several founding members came from local bands such as Family Wagon, the Young Wild, and Katie Leigh & the Infantry.
A self-titled EP was released in late 2019, followed in 2020 by a four-song EP, Live From Capricorn Studios. The band’s first full-length, Signs, was released in December 2021, and features nine original tracks. Founding members Calen Lucas (vocals, bass, guitar), Mike Cendejas (mandolin, bass, backing vocals), Craig Sturak (guitar, bass) and Michael Freed (fiddle, backing vocals) were joined by drummer Kevin Weiss (Thunderbeast) and banjo players Clinton Ross Davis and Ron DePuy.
