--------------------------------------

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
