SHENK MUSIC, LLC

My name is Rodney Shenk. My wife, Mj, and I have been professional musicians for better than 30 years.

​

Just a brief history: In the late 80s and the 90s, I co-founded two regionally successful alternative pop bands, The Sharks and 606. We released three CDs of original material and drew record crowds in the greater Sarasota and Tampa areas.

​

We eventually said goodbye to a consistent full-band schedule, but I still play several nights a week as an acoustic solo act, and as part of two duo acts — one with my wife (TheHappyGoLuckys), and one with Myron Miller (The Retro Duo).

​

I’m grateful for long-term regular gigs at a couple venues:

• Mondays, 6p–10p at Gilligan’s Island Bar on Siesta Key

• Thursdays, 6p–10p at Cha Cha Coconuts on St. Armands Cir

• 1st Friday of the month, 6:30p-10:30p at Irish 31 on US41 & Bee Ridge

​

I also play frequent Sundays at The Parrot Patio Bar and Grill on Webber & Beneva in Sarasota.

​

Check my personal Facebook page for updated weekly gig schedules, or email me and ask. And do me a favor — if you come out, and you know me from Shenk Seamless Gutters, let me know where I know you from. I’m sure I’ll recognize you, but I probably won’t be able to figure out why.
