We’re thrilled to introduce the newest member of The Mighty Muskrats, John Shanks, who joined us just over a year ago and has already become irreplaceable. John is a true original, bringing not only his impressive musicianship but also a warm personality and a unique style that adds something special to our sound. He’s a multi-instrumentalist with an unconventional approach that keeps us all inspired.
John’s guitar technique is a perfect example: whether he’s picking out a delicate country tune, strumming chords with subtlety or raw power, or tearing through a rock solo, he does it with his guitar resting on his knee – an unconventional stance that gives the impression he’s playing a country slide guitar. His relaxed yet dynamic style is captivating, blending tradition with his own inventive flair. It’s safe to say John has a way of making any instrument his own, and we’re incredibly grateful to have him in the band.
