Shinglers is a project that started with a chance meeting in West Texas, when members Jeremy Brandelik and Colton Cerny found they shared a common love for old school country and cosmic Americana music. After some drunkenly spirited conversations about the virtues of Jerry Jeff Walker, Doug Sahm, Buck Owens and Steve Young, a friendship was struck. Upon another chance meeting back in Austin, they joined forces with friends Kyle Harris and Mississippi Keith Young. After securing pedal steeler Zack Wiggs to round out the lineup and cutting their teeth in bars in and out of Austin, they began writing songs, combining their country influences and the mind expanding ideals of old Austin to quickly become a powerhouse live act. A must hear for any country roller.
With the release of Cosmic Range Oven, the band’s first LP (April 13th 2021), "they seem to have come out of nowhere as a fully formed honky-tonk force to be reckoned with, delivering nine original songs that hearken back to the glory days of Gram Parsons’ circa-1970 band the Flying Burrito Brothers."
