He’s Burl Ives meets Al Green; Hank, Jr. meets Teddy Pendergrass. Wendell Berry meets Chuck Berry. Kevin Russell has been riding high on a river of country-soul, swamp-funk and tickle as the frontman for Shinyribs.  Beginning as a side-project of singer/ guitar player Kevin Russell, Austin Music Awards named Shinyribs 2017 Funk/Blues/Soul Band of the Year. In this incarnation, Russell pairs with The Shiny Soul Sisters – Kelley Mickwee & Alice Spencer.
