The Hook hosts a homecoming gathering for all fans of The Hold Steady and The Shackletons!
The Shackletons are a rock band from Minneapolis, circa 2014, composed of brothers Colin Campbell (guitar/vocals), Cameron Campbell (bass/backing vocals), and Evan Campbell (drums/misc screaming). Local radio station The Current has described them as, “Conor Oberst with a John Belushi attitude, fronting The Hold Steady.”
The band puts on electrifying live performances pulling from their catalog of punk, indie, blues, and whatever they’re feeling like playing at the moment. The Shackletons draw from a plethora of influences including The Replacements, The Who, Against Me!, and Old 97s.
With multiple EPs and singles under their belt, The Shackletons released their first full length album in December of 2021, produced by John Fields. In the weeks following their self-titled release, it became the #1 self-released album added to independent radio stations, and the #12 most added overall.
