“Arrangements and Voice are terrific”

Shakeh is a Rock N' Roll Gal

“Full of verve and humor, reaching out to grab as much of life as possible, guitar strumming chanteuse Shakeh is an engaging presence”

– Shakeh is one of the most talented songwriters around. "Keep Talkin' Bout Me" is quite possibly her best CD yet."

“Keep Talkin' 'Bout Me" is honestly written, very well produced, warm and inviting and at times just full-out exciting to hear.”—

“Befriend Shakeh’s steadfast and supple sound: her lyrics encapsulate a wealth of female emotions and her music enriches. ‘Keep Talkin’ Bout Me ‘ is her best music yet.”

“An Amazing Artist”

“Shakeh wrote one of the most achingly haunting songs of lost love I have every heard. Her “Coffee For One” captures the feeling of a romance never to return in the best melodic fashion.”

“Sellable, marketable, EZ to listen to, especially liked ‘Coffee For One’, a great storyteller.”

“What’s most impressive is that this artist manages to showcase these different genres and still sound like “Shakeh”-the original she truly is. I highly recommend this artist and her fabulous new release “Keep Talkin’ Bout Me.”

“If you want accessible, clear, well delivered contemporary pop vocals and guitar this is definitely for you. You feel at home walking in her shoes. Perfect for community events, arts and crafts and general music festivals.”

“Passionate evocative songs. Perfect for that special scene in a movie or company when one aches for the splendid intimacy that Shakeh provides so eloquently.”

“Haven’t taken your cd out of the mix since I put it in a couple of weeks ago. Everyone loves it!”

Thank you for singing and composing all those wonderful, rare, and beautiful songs

"THIS LADY KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING - WHETHER SLOW AND BLUESY, UP AND FUNKY AND ALL THE EMOTIONS IN BETWEEN. HER MELODIES ARE HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL, HER PROGRESSIONS WILL KEEP YOU SMILING! WHAT EVER YOU DO, KEEP TALKIN' 'BOUT HER!!"

“A singer with a confessional/Rock/Blues Vibe. A storyteller and stand-up comic rolled into one performer”

hey shakeh. Shakeh you were awesome at the Motley. I received so many
compliments on locating a Scripps graduate that could really rock the
crowd all night. You were able to get the crowd involved and I saw lots
of smiles in the room. Your voice was definitely one of the better
voices that the Motley had heard all year. Keep your eyes on our website
motleycoffeehouse.com so that you can get in touch with the future music
manager so you can come back to the mot next year!!

Hi Shakeh,

CM and I enjoyed your performance and you are a true professional with a
great spirit. Whether you are performing for one person or a thousand people you
have a great attitude and as they say in Hollywood "The Show Must Go On!"

We look forward to seeing you again in the Portland area. Just remember the
difference between winter and spring in Oregon, is the rain is warmer in the
spring.

Warmest Regards,
John Owen

PS: I put you on our new blog site called The Oregon Blogger.
