It’s always the same. Your AMM host soaks in every sweet mellow groove of “Simply Belong To You” by Austin outfit Shinyribs, then waits ’til the very end for Kevin Russell to hit those high notes. What a treasure.
Shinyribs is a free-flowing musical melting pot in the local scene, consisting of so many ingredients in the recipe – from Texas blues to New Orleans funk, Memphis soul to country twang, generous helpings of every kind of roots music you can dream up. And this band thrives on the live experience, which could mean anything from a raucous sing-along to a literal conga line through the audience.
Remember that Shinyrib’s upcoming show, part of the KUTX 10th Birthday Concert series, has been rescheduled for tomorrow, Thursday April 20, at The Far Out Lounge and Stage, 8504 S. Congress Ave. Doors at 6 p.m., featuring an opening set by Texas String Assembly. Yes, this is epic. Go forth, and celebrate.
