Soulbone Shakers Duo
Thank you for a great 2026 so far! So good to see so many of you this year!
October 2025 saw Berdo & Jones as duo in the 2025 Iowa Blues Challenge, as Runners-Up,
and closing out the year by playing for the Linn County Blues Society in December.
In 2024 Tom Berdo and Shaneman Jones were simply "Berdo & Jones," a duo hitting jams and open mics across eastern Iowa.
Chemistry on stage led to frequent requests to play and invitations to sit in with some of the areas favorite regional blues acts.
By the end of 2024, the humble duo took their Blues & Soul sound 600-miles south, playing sets at Clarksdale, Mississippi’s blues clubs, and visiting iconic blues sites along the Mississippi Blues Trail.
From what folks are seeing, they brought back some extra helpings of blues mojo to share in Iowa too...
Now performing as Soulbone Shakers Duo...
