The Mothership Presents Shinyribs with The Sweet Lillies!

Shinyribs defies genres as a sonic melting pot of Texas Blues, New Orleans R&B funk, horn- driven Memphis Soul, country twang, border music, big band swing, and roots-rock. The Austin-based nine-piece (sometimes 10-piece) supergroup is led by Kevin Russell, the charismatic frontman with colorful suits and extravagant shoes who continuously swaps out an electric guitar for a ukulele and never falls short of creating a cinematic experience with on- stage antics that often include him donning a light-up cloak or leading a conga line through the crowd.

The Sweet Lillies are a heartfelt, collaborative Americana Roots Pop Fusion quartet built around original songwriting and fearless genre-blending, featuring Julie Gussaroff, Becca Bisque, JJ Murphy, and Jones Maynard. With electric guitar, viola/violin, upright and electric bass, drums, and ethereal vocal harmonies, they craft hard-hitting, uniquely evolving sounds that draw on folk, jazz, blues, southern rock, hip-hop, and pop, reflecting the band’s collective life experiences and a no-holds-barred creative ethos. Founders Gussaroff and Bisque write and mold the core material, while the group thrives on onstage collaborations, rotating arrangements, and guest appearances by legendary artists, producing energetic, ever-shifting live shows that defy easy categorization. Since forming in 2013, they have released six albums—The Sweet Lillies (2016), A Lighter Hue (2018), Common Ground (2021), Sweet Holiday Sessions (2021), Equality (2023), and Cover To Cover (2024)—and plan a year of singles in 2026, beginning with Weatherman on January 16, 2026.
