Transit Damage, the latest album from blues singer-songwriter Shinyribs is a versatile collection that blends the soulful vocals of frontman Kevin Russell, frequent pop ups from a horn section, and lyrics mentioning reconsideration, humanity, and metaphors about love.

Russell and his eight-piece repertoire kick off the weekend by taking over the Skipperdome ahead of a handful of summer festival dates across the country.

Tickets to Shinyribs’ Tampa gig with  Mitch Lind and the Lagerheads—happening on Friday, Feb. 2 at Tampa’s beloved Skipper’s Smokehouse ( 910 Skipper Rd.)—start at $35.
