Inspired by the Rock 'n' Roll Greats and Red Dirt Legends, Austin Meade tastefully blends bluesy guitars and deliberate vocals to deliver a familiar, yet fresh, sound in a 4-piece package. A 2015 Agricultural Business graduate of Texas A&M University, and former drummer, Meade's appeal reaches not only to the co-eds of the next generation, but simultaneously waxes nostalgic for those longing for the ambient guitars of the 70s. Meade's current EP "Heartbreak Coming," features the singles "Born With A Broken Heart" and "Courage To Talk."

A moody Texas country singer/songwriter whose approach lands halfway between atmospheric Americana and lean, Red Dirt Country, Dalton Domino is part of a 21st century progressive country music anchored in Lubbock, Texas. Born in Memphis, Domino moved frequently as he was growing up, a condition that carried over into adulthood. His musical curiosity was sparked in 2003 when he saw New Found Glory and MxPx, but as he got older, he gravitated toward Texas and its Red Dirt country. He spent some time in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, but his musical career took off when he relocated to Lubbock, where he found a group of kindred spirits headed by Josh Abbott. Forming a backing group called the Front Porch Family Band -- it featured Beau Folfing on guitar, Michael Moad on bass, and Levi Fowler on harmonica -- he began gigging regularly. They cut their debut album, 1806, with producer Jon Taylor and released it in 2015. Domino and the Front Porch Band supported it with regional tours and recorded a sequel in Dripping Springs the following year. Entitled Corners, the album came out in the spring of 2017.

He's made a lot of them. He also makes records for other people. You've probably heard some of them. Mike also likes swords and looking at weird things in antique stores.

SHINYRIBS is the continuation of Kevin Russell’s musical journey that began in Beaumont, TX when, at 14, he found his father’s guitar under his bed, along with a sewing machine, a billy club and a box of comic books. Luckily he chose the guitar. Following his family’s oil boom and bust migratory path he landed in Shreveport, LA where he formed his first band. Picket Line Coyotes were a Husker Du meets Elvis Costello hybrid that lived and died between the “Arklatexabamassippi” borders much like their unfortunate animal namesake. That’s what took him to Austin where The Gourds were born from those Coyote ashes. That storied band of pumpkins came to an end after 18 years of good times and hard travelin’. From that point on Russell, has been riding high on the Shinyribs river of country-soul, swamp-funk and tickle. A Shinyribs show is an exaltation of spirit. It’s a hip shaking, belly laughing, soul-singing, song-slinging, down-home house party. All styles of American music are likely to be touched on, squeezed on, kissed on by this world-class band featuring Winfield Cheek on Keyboards, Keith Langford on Drums, Jeff Brown on Bass, the Tijuana Trainwreck Horns, and The Shiny Soul Sisters - Sally Allen & Alice Spencer. Whether on his 6 string Uke or his Electric guitar or singing a cappella, Russell will entertain you like no one else. The freedom with which he moves, coupled with his incredible voice is an experience in and of itself. His original songs laced with magical-realism along with novel interpretations of popular songs old and new (George Jones, TLC, Leadbelly, T-Pain) are the true art that runs throughout. He’s Burl Ives meets Al Green; Hank, Jr. meets Teddy Pendergrass. Wendell Berry meets Chuck Berry.
