Shinyribs w/ Schaefer Llana

We will maybe never know what Shinyribs is. Sometimes, it’s a sprawling multi-piece ensemble slapping the air until it grooves; sometimes he’s a somber subtle songwriter pouring poetry on the ground from a cup half full. Either way it’s always the house-party-meets-library that is, Kevin Russell. Raised in Beaumont, TX, and Shreveport, LA–the cradle of swamp pop, Leadbelly, and bayou R&B–Russell distills those regional sounds into something both timeless and immediate, dripping from his fingers like honey, salt & fat. Think Texas Gulf Coast meets Muscle Shoals, songs carved and weaved by hand with a storyteller’s heart.

Bottom of the Hill

psychedelic rock power pop: Kelley Stoltz -from San Francisco, CA -Skilled at crafting pop songs under his own name, excellent at producing albums for others, and with enough session chops to play with legends like Echo & the Bunnymen and Robyn Hitchcock, Kelley Stoltz has carved out an interesting career for himself on the fringes of the indie rock scene. A series of homemade albums released on small labels in the late ’90s led to him being signed to Sub Pop, where he delivered a trio of strong garage psych-meets-power pop albums in the mid-2000s that established him as both an artist and a producer. Stoltz spent the 2010s jumping from label to label, gradually softening and expanding his sound to include more psychedelic elements while occasionally experimenting with it, as on 2017’s synth-heavy Que Aura, 2020’s mod punk Hard Feelings, and 2022’s The Stylist, which was an updated take on the piano-heavy sound of his early records.

There is only one consensus pick of peers and predecessors, of the traditionalists, the rebels, and the next gen devotees. Music’s ultimate inside outsider. Or is it outside insider?

His love of music came immediately, encouraged by his parents’ record collection and, particularly, by his father Charlie, a fiddler, who organized local jams. Charlie envisioned his son someday a staff fiddler at the Grand Ole Opry, but a clear day’s signal from Nashville brought to Bush’s television screen a tow-headed boy named Ricky Skaggs playing mandolin with Flatt and Scruggs, and an epiphany for Bush.

Napa Music Hall

The thirteenth studio album from Old 97’s, American Primitive, arose from what vocalist/guitarist Rhett Miller refers to as a “de-evolution” of the legendary Dallas-bred band. “As much as I want us to calm down and grow up, the songs that felt right for this record were mostly big and loud and brutal and dirty,” says Miller, whose bandmates include bassist Murry Hammond, guitarist Ken Bethea, and drummer Philip Peeples. Arriving just months before the 30th anniversary of Hitchhike to Rhome–a powerhouse debut that played a vital part in pioneering the alt-country genre–the result is a gloriously rowdy body of work, revealing a veteran band more attuned than ever to the raw and reckless energy of truly timeless rock-and-roll.

Over the course of three boisterously received concerts staged to raise funds for the imperilled Bush Hall, this most famous and infamous of acts was born anew with energy, power, and the fiercest of joy. Never mind that the current iteration trades under the name the Sex Pistols with Frank Carter, with immediate effect, the band became a fist.
