The Buttshakers

The soul/funk combo from Lyon (FR) is not only one of the best groups able to take up the torch from Sharon Jones and compete with the Daptones; they are also musicians in search of meaning.
LE MONDE.FR
For the past decade, the Lyon formation, led by American singer Ciara Thompson, has been propelling its abrupt and incendiary funk on European stages.

PAN AFRICAN MUSIC
The Buttshakers create a universe 100% soul, evident in the single “In the City” with the haunting voice of singer Ciara Thompson. It’s sexy and kinetic.
SOUL ADDICT
Rhythm’n’blues with a touch of garage and a heavy dose of sex-appeal make their songs powerful hits, transforming their shows into fervid dancefloors.
PARIS MOVE
Don’t think that France is behind on the soul scene. The Buttshakers are living proof that soul music is alive and well in the Hexagon.

THE BUTTSHAKERS are back with a new album, “Lessons In Love”!

With their musical roots deeply immersed in the fertile soil of Afro-American music, the Buttshakers have found a new direction for their nostalgia-heavy soul music.

With “Lessons In Love”, their third album on Underdog Records, their early heartaches and furies have faded in favor of a more composed harmony – a sound enveloped in love and soaked in the blues. Guided by their singer Ciara Thompson, the Buttshakers have taken a more intimate path, whose compass, in the chaos of emotions and the modern world, points only in one direction : the light.
