Carie and the SoulShakers deliver sultry soul, blistering blues, infectious funk and irresistible originals. Their original style evokes New Orleans and Memphis. Their covers include rare gems from Allen Toussaint, Willie DIxon, Fats Domino, Johnny Taylor, Stevie Wonder, and Taj Mahal.

Press and music critics call their sound: "New Orleans Soul with Memphis grit", "dripping with sensuality" and "Soul-blues of the highest order." - The SoulShakers will "rearrange your molecules" Christine Waters PhD, Contributing editor: Good Times

A funky 4 piece delta blues-soul band with Memphis grit, Carie and The Soul Shakers are an elixir, a potion, an aphrodisiac. Carie Anne​ Ma​cAlpine with her voice and Vinny Johnson with his guitar, are the primary chemists. They are the medicine woman and man for an aching soul or a broken heart. Their numerous performances in the Bay Area ​have ​culminated​ in the the building of an electric and ecstatic altar where band, ​fans and newcomers become the congregation. Attend!​ ​You will dance. Y​ou will sing. You will be overcome by the soul. The grit will get you. You will not be the same.

Johnson and MacAlpine found instant chemistry from the start. In the fall of 2013, MacAlpine approached local guitar veteran, Johnson, to seek his help in closing out two pending gigs before she resigned from the music scene. A year later they had more than a dozen songs, had produced an EP, attracted a stellar line-up of fellow musicians, and had gigs booked throughout California.​ Now they put together very special line-ups all over the country utilizing local musicians.

Press and music critics call their sound: "New Orleans Soul with Memphis grit", "dripping with sensuality" and "Soul-blues of the highest order." - Called comparable to: Tracy Nelson, Cold Blood, Dead Weather, or Angela Strehli with Danny Gatton​. The SoulShakers "will rearrange your molecules."
