Bio
Wicked Shimmy
Not your ordinary cover band!
Wicked Shimmy plays only the best rock and roll from the 60's to 00's, and everything in between! Originally formed in 2015, Wicked Shimmy has steadily become one of Springfield, Missouri's premier cover bands!
Quinn, Kyle, and John first played music together in 1994, while two of the three were still in high school. Twenty years later, after life had taken them all separate directions, they got back together. Wicked Shimmy is proof that if something is meant to be, life will put things in their place. Helena joined the band in 2024, and has been setting stages on fire (not literally... maybe) ever since!
Wicked Shimmy has opened for such bands as Paralandra and, most recently, Saving Abel! With soulful vocals that soothe like honey, heart-racing guitar riffs, and a rhythm section that drives you mad with memory-making nostalgia, Wicked Shimmy covers bands like Queen, Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, Styx, 3 Doors Down, Foo Fighters, Aerosmith, and even pop-punk covers of Britney Spears, Alannah Myles, Donna Summers, and more! We have just the right mix of music that will reach the broadest spectrum of music fans everywhere!
