Spoonshine has been creating and refining their handcrafted original music for nearly ten years to the delight of club and festival audiences up and down the west coast. Inspired by Northwest nature, history and culture together with American and World music traditions, they dazzle music-lovers with their energy, virtuosity and artful compositions.
Their brand of Americana, along with a globe-spanning eclectic mix of original music is unclassifiable within conventional genres. Vocal harmonies, mandolin, guitar, keys, woodwind, fiddle, stand-up bass and assorted percussion combine to make-up this homegrown quartet’s sound.
“It’s the thrill of a life to play with you guys.”- Artis the Spoonman
