Lets Get It On - Chris Shutters Band


The Chris Shutters Band started off as a blues band. With their own originals and a few covers, they went on to compete in the 2007 Black Swamp Blues Competition. Over 40 greatly-respected bands and artists performed that year for the competition. They ended up winning this National event and continued down to Memphis, TN to compete in the International Competition. They did not win this event, so they chalked it down for experience and moved on. This year they won the 2008 Regional Battle of the Bands for northwest Ohio in the pop/rock category. Out of 121 very talented bands, they moved on to have the honor of opening up for Ted Nugent at the Rib Off on the Lucas County Fairgrounds. They have also opened for artists such as: Bad Company, Molly Hatchet, and Frijid Pink.

The other two members are most definitely an extraordinary addition to this band. Frank “Frankie” May (27), bass player of the band, is one of the most sought after bass players in the area. Opening for "Blue Oyster Cult” with his father a few years back was a defining moment for his great reputation. Playing a six string bass, he joined the band almost two years ago and has continued to carry the weight of this band. The drummer, Dan Jahns (29), is the newest member of the band. He is a phenomenal drummer with the ability to play any genre of music. Chris Shutters (23) is the songwriter, lead guitarist, and vocalist of the group. He is also known for his flute playing.
