SUMMARY:Shinyribs
DESCRIPTION:Once you’ve seen Shinyribs’ Kevin Russell on-stage and heard his band’s music\, it’s impossible\nto forget him. Known for his outrageous outfits and antics\, Russell is a regular Austin fashion\nicon\, liable to turn up in anything from his lime-green sherbet leisure suit to a flashing LED\ncloak\, which he donned for a soulful performance of “East Texas Rust” on the award-winning\nPBS show Austin City Limits.  \nBorn and raised in Beaumont\, East Texas\, Russell has been dubbed (mostly by himself) the\nBaryshnikov of the Big Thicket\, the Pavarotti of the Pineywoods\, the Shakespeare of Swamp\nPop or the Shiniest Man in Showbidniz. Balding with a scraggly beard and an unapologetic gut\,\nRussell boasts the indelible spirit and nudge-nudge\, wink-wink playful quality of a man forever\nyoung\, who points to the likes of Tony Joe White and the Coasters for his rib-tickling\,\nmind-expanding\, butt-shaking “is he for real” sense of humor. As a member of The Gourds\,\nRussell took his musical inspiration from the fertile Ark-La-Tex turf and became a pioneer of\nAmericana.  \nShinyribs is one of the music world’s best-kept secrets\, but not for long. The eight-piece outfit\nwas named Best Austin Band for 2017 and 2018 at the Austin Chronicle’s Austin Music Awards\nand their album\, “I Got Your Medicine\,” was tapped as Album of the Year. Shinyribs was also\nnominated by Black Fret in 2015 for a grant and was selected as a recipient.  \nThe crack eight-piece band features Russell on lead vocals\, uke\, and electric guitar\, as well as\nkeyboardist Winfield Cheek\, bassist Jeff Brown and drummer Keith Langford\, with the Tijuana\nTrainwreck Horns (trumpet player Tiger Anaya and Mark Wilson on sax and flute) and the Shiny\nSoul Sisters (Alice Spencer and Kelley Mickwee)\, as well as occasional on-stage appearances\nby the Riblets\, Shinyribs’ very own dance troupe.  \nAbout his status as a local hero\, Russell says\, “The competition is pretty serious here in Austin. I\ndon’t know how big a fish I am\, but I certainly flop around a lot.”  \nKevin Russell might not take himself too seriously\, but he is dead-serious about the eclectic\nblend of music he favors\, combining Texas blues\, New Orleans R&B funk\, horn-driven Memphis\nsoul\, country twang\, border music\, big band swing\, roots-rock\, Tin Pan Alley and even punk into\na raucous mix that includes such out-of-the-blue cover nods as David Bowie’s “Golden Years”\n(a posthumous tribute with an unlikely “On Broadway” groove) or the Beatles’ “Everybody’s Got\nSomething To Hide Except Me and My Monkey” (interpolated into a live version of “Poor\nPeople’s Store\,” his populist “jingle” for an imaginary bargain-basement outlet).  \nRussell’s Shinyribs have recorded five albums since starting out as his “solo” side project\,\nstarting with 2010’s “Well After Awhile\,” followed by “Gulf Coast Museum” (2013)\, “Okra Candy”\n(2015)\, 2017’s award-winning “I Got Your Medicine\,” and the holiday project “The Kringle\nTingle” (2018). The band’s impending release\, “Fog & Bling\,” set to be released June 14\, 2019\,\ncame to fruition with demos Kevin started in his backyard studio\, with Los Lobos’ Steve Berlin\nproviding some of the horn arrangements.  \nThe conceptualization of “Fog & Bling” derived from discussions between Russell and beloved\nAustin Bassist and producer George Reiff when the two conceptualized taking Russell’s home\nrecordings and building on top of them to see what would come of it. After Reiff’s passing in\n2017\, Russell worked with David Boyle of Church House Recording Studios to piece together\nthe various recordings and compile them into an album.  \nWhen asked to describe the new record\, Russell responded in his true\, eccentric fashion\, “Time\ncapsule opened in the presence of poets leading clergy to a field of wine drunk hippies parading\nhalf-nude behind a cattle drive. It’s multiple radios lost in time crossing signal paths. It’s stained\npages of books with dead flowers and moths pressed between its pages. It’s grackle’s feathers\nfestooning the hats of dancers sliding slowly across a wooden dance floor. It’s all that and more\nthan I can even begin to conjure.”  \nRussell’s parents were both music lovers\, his father teaching him his first guitar chords\, “then\npretty much letting me go my own way.” As a teenager\, he went through a hard-core punk\nphase\, attracted to west coast acts like Minutemen\, Hüsker Dü and Gun Club\, followed by an\nalternative college fascination with R.E.M.\, the dBs and the Replacements.\n“ \nI was raised in an era where there were no rules\, where marketing and specialization hadn’t yet\nbecome the status quo\,” Russell says of his vast musical canvas. “I think of radio as playing all\nstyles of music; everything is up for grabs. I never wanted to play just one kind of music.\nHonestly\, I don’t know how to do anything else. I love mashing things together you wouldn’t\nexpect\, like a donut taco.”  \nThe past flows through Russell’s aesthetic sensibility to become something\, well\, Shiny and\nnew.  \n“On a more linear line I hear it as a move towards the never-ending goal of merging great songs\nwith great performances\,” says Russell. “In the world of music\, there are great songs and great\nperformances. Rarely do the two meet. But\, this is the best we can hope for when it does\nhappen. These are the colors I am always working with. I use my own Dr. Suess meets James\nJoyce personal poetry to give it a structure to live within. These songs are\, as I listen back\,\ndeeply personal meditations on my life. From my adolescent\, disaffected years of angst\, angry\nat the world\, through my naive 20s into my depressed 30s into my melancholy\, longing 40s I\nwalk with this group of songs gracefully into my 50s a hopefully wiser\, gentler\, more\nunderstanding man. I feel like I have never been better as a songwriter and singer. I cherish my\ngift as a bringer of song \nTICKETING & RESERVATION INFO: \nPurchasing a General Admission ticket does not guarantee a seat/table and will be STANDING ROOM ONLY. \nAdditional reservations are not required if a table\, booth\, or banquette has been purchased via Big Tickets. \nReservations for the Captain’s Room (semi-private dining room) can be reserved for parties of 12-24 guests.
