The Velvet Saloon’s new single, “Shake It Shake It,” is a high-energy modern country record that reflects the band’s cross-border identity between Québec and Nashville. Built with a lively barroom spirit, the track plays up banjo-driven rhythms, sharp guitar lines, and a bold party-ready structure. It places the band among the current class of country acts, pushing a modern and roots-aware sound.
Recorded in Nashville, Montreal, and Québec City, the song has a layered sound, and there’s country swagger and polished commercial clarity in the mix. Here, banjo hooks drive the momentum, while the percussion maintains a steady, dancefloor-friendly pulse. The vocal delivery sits firmly in the middle, the grit and ease working in tandem.
This single is a standout for taking a party-first approach without losing its roots’ influence. It captures the spirit of today’s honky-tonk culture and is just right for festival stages and late-night playlists alike. The Velvet Saloon creates a sound that’s catchy but distinctive, making them adept at taking regional influences and turning them into one cohesive musical identity that sticks with you.
