Who is the Charlie Shafter Band? The Charlie Shafter Band consists of four marginally educated ant farmers from Duluth, Minnesota. The band was formed from a common friendship and genuine love for the 1980's. Their music is world renown; however, their story is little known.

Or maybe it's the other way around?

Whatever...

The Charlie Shafter Band set out to do two things when it formed: 1) to clarify the pronunciation of the word barrette, and 2) to prove the Aztecs did indeed invent the vacation. In accordance with prophecy, four ant farmers will drop their small ant farming shovels and pick up musical instruments. Joel (The Frugal) is awarded the power of rhythm. Charlie (The Meek) is endowed with spongy vocals. A power from above enables Clayton (The Just) to funk it up. Lastly, Adam (The Cruel) was infused at birth with tangy fingers. The band has received mixed reviews from places as far away as Germany. They tour extensively and farm copiously, never losing sight of their ultimate goal.
