SHEBAD with Strutman Lane at The Evening Muse – Charlotte, NC
SHEBAD is the creative spirit of visual artist and vocalist Claire Voy and multi-instrumentalist Ciccio Spagnolo, bolstered by musicians and collaborators Emil White (sax/keys/vocals), Emmitt Leacock (drums), and Bella Tian (vocals/keys). Hailing from Guelph, Ontario, Canada, their music plays in the realm of Acid Jazz, characterized by fusion rhythms and arrangement, danceable basslines, and transcendent layered vocals. Their sound is a synthesis of influences like Stevie Wonder, Hiatus Kaiyote, Amy Winehouse, Daft Punk, and Erykah Badu, making the music compelling and curious with lyrics from the heart. CBC’s Laila Biali aptly describes their sound as “Music that exists in a sonic world of its own”.
Strutman Lane’s sound is packing all of your friends into a diner’s corner booth, flipping the perfect pancake, or waking up energized from a refreshing midday nap. This 8-piece band of friends from the outskirts of Washington D.C. is reigniting classic pop music with their high energy funk grooves and soulful melodies.
2026 is Strutman Lane’s biggest year yet. With the recent release of the single “Know What I Know” and its retro sitcom-themed music video, the band assumes a confident new era of sound and style. This Spring, they brought that signature spunkiness up and down the East Coast, as they embarked on their Know What I Know Tour, and will continue boogie-ing into the Summer with their newest EP.
The octet thrives on the live stage, captivating audiences with their funk-pop jams driven by catchy guitar hooks, three-part harmonies and a dazzling horn section. Every member of the crowd is welcomed into this quirky friend group with infectious singalongs, theatrical on-stage bits and beckonings to boogie. Strutman Lane is also big on fruit.
