Joe Rut and The Sunshine Shovelers 3p Park

Winners of the East Bay Express’ 2024 Best Local Band contest, Joe Rut & The Sunshine Shovelers dish out a hearty serving of country rock, smothered in gravy. Oakland, CA  singer/songwriter Joe Rut’s quirky humor underpins a heartfelt, richly lyrical, and subtly hallucinatory alt-country tapestry, and his music has been compared to Todd Snider, The Band, and 70’s-era Grateful Dead. Rut is joined by the thunderous Tim Rowe on drums and Russel Kiel on bass, both veterans of the Bay Area country music scene’s classic band, Crying Time. Adding spice to the gumbo is fiery Telecaster picker Jamie Duncan who embellishes Rut’s story songs with jaw-droppingly melodic lines that weave around the vocals with near-telepathic ease. Come let them Shovel some Sunshine at ya!
