Shiner formed in 1992 after Allen’s college band The Industry broke up a couple years after graduation. Forming first as Orchid with Clayton Brown and Shawn Sherrill, the band quickly morphed into Shiner after adding drummer Tim Dow and signing with Flower Booking and DeSoto Records, owned by Kim Coletta and Bill Barbot of Jawbox.

Local prog math rockers Lafayette open the show.
