High-energy Southern grooves!\n\n\nShinyribs\nw/ Seth Walker \nThursday\, October 2nd 2025 \nCharleston Pour House \nMain Stage \n7:30 doors /8:30 show \n$22 advance /$25 day of show \n \nShinyribs\n \nWe 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. \nRaised 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. \nShinyribs evolved from a solo residency Russell began under that moniker in the mid-2000s\, after an incident in a Houston club\, playing a private party for a group of welders where he bought a homeless woman a plate of ribs. “Her name was Roberta\,” says Russell. “She was a high priestess of transistor radios and an almost forgotten music she called ‘Chilibump.’ For that plate of Ribs that night she gave me in return a name\, Shinyribs and a road map to the mysterious big thicket sounds I had only heard of from old timers and time travelers.” \nWith Leaving Time produced by David Beck (Texan Weekend\, Blue Healer)\, Russell parks the party bus behind the venue and sits in a lawn chair in the street lights with the bugs and a dingy moon. Joined by extraordinary bassist\, arranger and co-producer\, Mason Hankamer\, keyboardist Jonny Keys (Uncle Lucius)\, drummer Dees Stribling and Mr. Beck singing gourd- like harmonies while handling multiple Instrumental touches\, Leaving Time is a departure and an arrival showcase of Russell’s long evolution as a classic Texas songwriter. The songs reconnect with Russell’s literary roots\, the folk and country influences that shaped his work with The Gourds\, and the ever-present irreverence guiding his musical journey since his early years. \nKevin Russell – Shinyribs – invites you into his junkyard of juke\, his shack of shakin’ souls\, for a Sunday evening sit down\, a slow sound for a sweet night. When the time is just right for Leaving\, let ya mind wander into believing. \nIt’s Leaving Time. \n \nSeth Walker\n \nIn the midst of recording his 12th album\, wavering in his resolve to finish what he’d started\, Seth Walker came to a realization. “This work does not define me. This is not who I am forever. This is just a moment.” No album is trapped in amber\, no song is set in stone. Distance colors compositions over the years and each album is left as a reflection of its own period in time. This idea played a big part in shaping Why The Worry. Now\, the other half of knowing is letting go; letting go of the worry about perception\, the worry of over-preparation\, and the worry that seeps in constantly from the news and noise of everyday life. Taking a page from Willie Nelson\, Walker embraced the songwriter’s sage wisdom\, “I’ve never seen worry accomplish anything… so I decided not to do it.” Truth be told\, there aren’t many better oracles to hang an ethos on than brother Willie. \nThe new album finds Walker reunited with old friends and familiar names. Once again Jano Rix steps behind the boards\, co-producing the album with Seth and engineer Brook Sutton. \nIn the producer’s fifth outing he’s become an invaluable sounding board\, the kind who knows what’s missing and\, just as importantly\, what needs to be taken away. Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers) lends a pen to the title track\, and Seth’s classically trained father Scott adds strings to “I’m Getting Ready\,” a song penned by Walker’s contemporary Michael Kiwanuka. \nMostly\, though\, the record was shepherded into shape by Walker’s trio\, rounded out by longtime confidants Rhees Williams (Guitar\, Piano) and Mark Raudabaugh (Drums). The three let the studio guide them\, entering without agenda\, set straight by the title’s mantra to stop worrying where they’d end up. \nBut worry always tries to creep in. It’s inevitable\, isn’t it? The album was just about finished when Hurricane Helene hit Walker’s region in the mountains around Asheville\, and as a result\, the record almost didn’t see light. As catastrophe took shape and literal bridges were broken\, the album’s importance wavered in Seth’s mind until the central theme came back into view. The worry wouldn’t undo any damage\, and there was still service in song. There’s a telling nod in the album closing with Bobby Charles’ seminal ode “I Must Be In a Good Place Now.” Why The Worry is a spiritual reset\, watching the sunrise over the mountains. It soaks in like warmth on the skin after a night of shivering in the dark. \nCharles isn’t the only notable scribe among the track list\, an even mix of Walker’s originals and a carefully curated crop of covers that rifle through the past and present. Setting the course are two gems from JJ Cale\, whose sanguine saunter leans well into the album’s themes of amble and ease. Walker opens the album with the smoke ring sway of Bill Withers\, turning the lights low for a gently funked rendition of “The Same Love That Made Me Laugh.” The groove grows deeper on Al Green’s “Take Me To The River\,” putting a distinctly reclined feel on the soul classic. The breezy feeling extends to the originals as well\, injecting a bit of Cale’s country funk into “Up On The Mountain\,” soaking spring air and hope into “Supernatural Thing\,” and melting nostalgia into meditation on “Midway Girl.” \nWhy The Worry follows a string of critically acclaimed albums from Walker\, garnering praise from NPR to The Washington Post. He’s been found on the road with The Mavericks\, The Wood Brothers\, Raul Malo\, Paul Thorn and Ruthie Foster among others. He recently penned “Moon and Stars” – the title track to The Mavericks new album\, sung as a duet with Sierra Ferrell. Walker’s latest album Why The Worry is out on April 4\, 2025 on Royal Potato Family. \n \n* Show is 21+. Attendees under 21 must be accompanied by a parent & will be subject to a $5 surcharge. The surcharge must be paid in cash at the door on the day of the event.
