Shinyribs is the stage name of Kevin Russell, an American singer-songwriter and bandleader known for his exuberant on-stage presence and diverse range of musical influences that includes country, soul, funk, and folk. Emerging from his former role as the frontman for The Gourds, a band acclaimed for its unique blend of Americana and alternative country, Russell carved out a solo career that quickly captured the attention of the eclectic music scene.

Since its formation, Shinyribs has been lauded for its undeniably infectious and joy-inducing sound, delivering a vibrant mix of original songs and clever covers. With albums like "Transit Damage" and "Fog & Bling," Shinyribs showcases Russell's talent for crafting narratives that are as compelling as the grooves that underpin them. The project's versatility is evident through tracks such as the whimsical "The Kringle Tingle," a Christmas-themed release, and the soulful "Sweetening," which attests to the rich emotional tapestry Shinyribs weaves into its music. The discography, featuring resonant tracks like "Late Night TV Gold" and "Stay Home," continues to expand as Shinyribs grows into an emblematic figure of the American South's musical melting pot.
