The Real Makers have been hiding out in an old fall-out shelter in Providence for the past year, surviving solely on K rations and cheap beer, honing and perfecting their musical onslaught.

The band consists of:

Shamus Flaherty - Guitar, Vocals
Joseph Raffone - Drums
Mathew Greaves - Guitar
Rick at Studio Blue - Bass

Most of the songs are inspired by characters in Shamus' second published book, Blue Collar Heaven, a story about the struggles of a blue collar man living on Martha's Vineyard. The book can be purchased here:
