Shinyribs defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas Blues,

New Orleans R&B funk, horn-driven Memphis Soul, country

twang, border music, big band swing, and roots-rock.

 

Led by Kevin Russell, the charismatic frontman with colorful

suits and extravagant shoes who continuously swaps out an electric guitar for a ukulele and never falls short of creating

a cinematic experience with on-stage antics that often include

him donning a light-up cloak or leading a conga line through the crowd. Whether it's with a full ensemble, a scaled down band,

or an intimate acoustic show, Kevin Russell's presence is nothing short of commanding and powerful.

 

Shinyribs was named Best Austin Band at the Austin Chronicle’s Austin Music Awards (2017, 2018), awarded Album of the Year for

I Got Your Medicine (2017), and Best 2020-Themed Song for "Stay Home" (2020). Russell’s Shinyribs have recorded and released multiple albums and toured across the globe to delighted audiences everywhere. Look for a new studio album in 2025!
