Shack Shakers’ Trailer & Gear Recovered

This has been posted elsewhere but I wanted to put a close to an earlier alert.

SHACK SHAKERS’ TRAILER & GEAR RECOVERED!

Unbelievable.

At 10am this morning, Officer Rob Eggers with the Nashville Police Dept. awakened the sleeping giant Mark Robertson with the awesome news that the Shack Shakers’ trailer, gear and merch had all been FOUND!

Dumped at a nearby airstrip by the river, the trailer sat idle with 95% of the contents still in tact. Only David’s orange Gretsch (NOT the White falcon! whew.) and Mark’s P-Bass were missing.

The theory goes that some illegal laborers (i.e.: no traceable fingerprints) had swiped our trailer, thinking it contained construction materials and power tools (the property where it was parked had sustained a theft of similar items months before.) When they got the trailer to the airstrip to peek inside, they found only heavy, heaping boxes of t-shirts and unwieldy amplifiers. Only the two guitars were easy enough to swipe in a flash.

This is great news for the band and all our fans, as we can now seemlessly join up with the Reverend Horton Heat, tour the East Coast with all our old familiar gear, and NOT be set back tens of thousands of dollars.

Thanks to the good folks at Fender in Scotsdale for their kind offer to expediate a shipment of replacement gear. And thanks to all of our fans, friends and family for jumping into action at a moment’s notice.

And thanks to Policeman Robbie Eggers..a hell of a cop, bass-player and daddy o’ twins. You guys are the greatest.
Seeya on the big East Coast Holiday tour with the Rev.!
Yer pal JD
