The Shedebies

The Shedebies celebrate funk in all their songs. The band knows how to combine different styles and create their own funk experience. They rely on versatility and improvisation, so that every concert has its own groove. With their uptempo numbers, they bring every club to the boil and ensure an unforgettable funk party.
The Shedebies is an absolute must for all fans of funk, jazz, and groovy live concerts. The four talented musicians—Patrick Blättler on guitar, Christian Schaffner on keys, Roger Semlitsch on bass, and Michael Schaffner on drums—have been playing together for over 15 years. Blättler is a fulltime musician and has years of experience as a live musician. He was a guitarist in the band Mothership Caldonia and in various jazz formations. The Schaffner brothers founded the funk band Loufonq together, with Christian composing most of the band’s songs. Semlitsch was the founder and bandleader of the funk combo Sulco. He joined Loufonq in 2006.
Over the years, the four musicians have made a name for themselves as a well-rehearsed rhythm section. They have already played as rhythm section in different bands and worked together with well-known artists such as Eric Krasno, Seven, Dave Feusi, and many others; toured Europe; and played numerous clubs and festivals.
Now they are on the road for the first time with their own project, The Shedebies. Funk meets rock, soul meets jazz, spiced up with a dash of blues. The Shedebies mix genres—sometimes spicy, sometimes creamy, sometimes sweet. The four artists create an exciting listening and dancing experience with their music.
Tickets are CHF 20 in advance or CHF 25 at the door; CHF 5 discount for students.
