Their union in the Boneshakers was fairly short-lived, but together guitarist/songwriter Randy Jacobs and vocalist Sweet Pea Atkinson put together two powerful, rockin' funk and soul albums and entertained some lucky audiences who became Boneshakers themselves on dancefloors across the U.S. Atkinson was born in Oberlin, Ohio. After working 14 years as a Chrysler assembly-line worker, he left his job to pursue a music career, singing for such Detroit R&B groups as the Exquisites and Energy.
These are photos from concerts where The Boneshakers played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
