Event Information:
Shinyribs defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas Blues, New Orleans R new record -Transit Damage(July2023 on Blue Elan / Hard charger Records)is, in Russells words, the record Ive been trying to make for most of my career. This is a collection of songs that relate to each other in a myriad of ways: musically, lyrically, emotionally. Its a real throwback to the era of complete albums, and draws from songs Ive written throughout my life. I hope listeners can take the time to fully immerse themselves in the whole thing. To help him flesh this collection out, Russell picked producer and longtime friend Steve Berlin(from Los Lobos)to help him arrange and record Transit Damage. Together they chose to work at another auspicious location, The Finishing School studios in Austin. The Finishing School is housed in the former home of Austin legend George Reiff(The Chicks, Bruce Robison, Ray Wylie Hubbard)who engineered and produced Shinyribs debut Well After Awhile back in 2010. Reiff, a close personal friend of Russells, tragically passed away from cancer in 2017, yet his legacy lives on. His home studio was refurbished by Band of Heathens Gordy Quist, and reopened a couple years ago with acclaimed engineer Jim Vollentine. Berlin helped source a number of auxiliary players around town to help expand the Shinyribs sound, and realize Russells bigger vision. Shinyribs bassist Mason Hankamer also lent some producing skills, helping arrange many of the songs. Shinyribs was named Best Austin Band at the Austin Chronicles 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). Russells Shinyribs have recorded seven previous albums: 2010sWell After Awhile; Gulf Coast Museum(2013);Okra Candy(2015); 2017saward-winningI Got Your Medicine; a compilation of holiday standards and new compositions The Kringle Tingle(2018); and the groups latest soulful release, Fog and Late Night TV Gold,(2021)
