River Shook

River Shook is an artist in constant evolution. After a decade spent making their mark on
country music, River Shook is closing the door on their first project (Sarah Shook & the
Disarmers) and entering an exciting new era, debuting as a solo artist. River’s reputation for
writing strikingly honest and transformative lyrics and their penchant for tapping elements of
indie rock and pop music have forever cemented them as a country artist who exists to
energetically push the boundaries of their genre into the future.

River has delivered high-energy performances with the Disarmers at major festivals like SXSW,
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, Under The Big Sky, Pilgrimage, and the Long Road in the UK. They’ve
supported Willie Nelson, Tyler Childers, Lucero, and the Indigo Girls. They’ve sold out
headlining shows in venues from New York City to Los Angeles, from Barcelona to Stockholm,
and many more.

River’s "Talkin' To Myself" was the theme song on the Apple TV+ show High Desert and two of
their songs (“New Ways To Fail” and “Keep The Home Fires Burnin’”) were featured in the 2021
movie Lorelei, starring Pablo Schreiber and Jena Malone. River and the Disarmers will appear
as themselves in the Kyle Gallner/Samara Weaving/Kyra Sedgwick upcoming film Carolina
Caroline with several songs featured in the film as well. River will also appear as themself in an
Ethan Hawke-directed/Rolling Stone-produced documentary about Merle Haggard alongside
legends like Steve Earle, Phoebe Bridgers, and Willie Nelson, later this year.

To promote the last Disarmers record Revelations, the New York Times ran a full artist profile on
River Shook (the article appeared in print and online). Prior Disarmers releases garnered
accolades from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, Paste, PopMatters, No Depression, and the
Wall Street Journal. The Disarmers’ sophomore album Years was named Best Rock Album of
2018 by the Chicago Tribune.

When they’re not writing for their debut solo album, River is back on the road backed by a full
band of heavy hitters, a growing collection of never-before-heard songs, and a sterling
reputation for raw, emotionally charged performances. River continues to captivate audiences
and connect with new fans with an unmistakable sound that appeals to a widespectrum of music
fans: classic country purists, indie rockers, pop lovers, and beyond. Their handpicked band is
stacked with badass talent and musical prowess, from the hypnotic drums to the ripping lead
guitar, from the soul-grounding bass to the heart-soaring pedal steel.

Onstage and off, River Shook isn’t just an artist - they’re a force of nature.
