Shaker Bloomheart

Shaker Bloomheart: a guy, a girl, a bassist. 

Combining the spiky melodies of millennial indie rock and the wall-of-noise asthetics of the underground punk scene with the delicate melancholia of Elliott Smith, the three piece has been a mainstay of the modern Seattle music scene since their inception in 2021. Known for their passionate live shows, deep catalogue of originals, and ambitious song structures, they have used their local success to play shows throughout the Pacific NW and release their debut EP, "stickintheheadable", to favorable reviews. Their 2024 EP “Nobody’s Perfect And So Can You” is out now. They are currently focused on continuing to spread the energy of their live shows across the region and preparing their first full-length album.

Shaker Bloomheart is Bradley Average, Rebecca Beracce, and Mike Frost. 

Come to a show. You'll cry while you dance - but you'll also dance while you cry.

Seamlessly fusing catchy hooks, dreamy synthesizers, and infectious rhythms, their music creates an irresistible sonic-experience that will keep you hooked from the very first note.
