Five Dollar Shake + Band in Horsham, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

Five Dollar Shake is a Surrey and Sussex-based acoustic band blending rich harmonies, dynamic guitar work, vibrant mandolin, and driving cajon rhythms to create a fresh, rootsy sound.
What began as a casual musical connection between James and Luca on Bandmix quickly grew into something special. After discovering Jackie’s incredible voice at a local open mic, the band knew they’d found their perfect frontwoman. With the later addition of Russell on cajon, Five Dollar Shake found its rhythm — and its name, a nod to the iconic milkshake moment from Pulp Fiction.

Together, they deliver a foot-tapping mix of stripped-back classics and lesser-known gems, all with their signature acoustic twist.

Sadly as of April '25 we parted ways with Russell, who wanted to pursue other things and we're now on the lookout for someone on upright bass and/or percussion/cajon
