Band Members: Donny Hyles-Bass, Marty Arbter-Drums, Richard Raines-Guitar
Influences:In the 1990's Rich and Marty were members of the Curb Records recording group Perfect Stranger. Here are two videos they had featured on GAC and CMT at that time. The first one is for a song called Miracle, and featurres both Marty on drums and Rich on guitar. The second one has Rich only, and is for the nunber 4 hit song they had entitled Right to Remain Silent. And here's the big Hit song (4 on the Billboard Charts,we were nominated for New Group of the Year at the ACM awards in 1995) Right to Remain Silent. Now here are some clips of Shinebox playing live at various gigs-the first two were shot at the Halfmoon Grill in Gresham, by Grant Cook. The ones that follow are from Greg Hullett's company party in 07. cut1

Sounds Like: Shinebox-ZZ Top meets Cream with Govt Mule and Hank Jr at a juke joint drinking Jager and Shiner Bock listening to Merle Haggard and David Alan Coe on the jukebox with Freddie King and Los Lobos.
