Shirley Jackson & Her Good Rockin’ Daddys have been fuelling the dance floor with a mixture of horn-powered east coast blues. The band hails to a sound inspired by the early years of Rock & Roll when horn sections were an integral part of the sound stylized by Jackson’s own song writing and horn arrangements.

The band is comprised of: Shirley Jackson on vocals and tenor saxophone; her son, Jef Wirchenko, on bass (performing, writing, and arranging with the Good Rockin’ Daddys for twenty-five years); long time members Dawn Hatfield (baritone saxophone) and Dave Harrison (trumpet) round out the Good Rockin’ Horn section; and veteran musicians Marc Doucet and Tom Crilley on guitar and Ainslie Jardine drums.
