Dexter Selboy & the Shonky Trio

Dexter Selboy and the Shonky Trio are one of the most unique and entertaining bands to grace the Bath and Bristol music scene.  With a backdrop of Soul/Folk grooves from Jose (lead guitar), Mojo (bass), and Gruff (percussion/ drums); Dexter’s quick witted, darkly comic lyrics – delivered with a passionate baritone – make you want to dance and philosophise in the same instant.  They are truly phenomenal performers.
