The Arkansas native draws on a rich musical heritage, with his family’s musical legacy playing a significant role in shaping his sound. Raised by singer-musicians, with his father being an exceptional whistler, Shoulders initially ventured through a teen punk phase before finding his way back to the roots of traditional rural country music, all while maintaining a punk edge.

His most recent album, All Bad, serves as a poignant reflection on the complexities of the South. Recorded in a shotgun house studio in New Orleans, the album paints a vivid picture of life in the region—touching on the beauty of the outdoors, the loss of natural spaces, and the challenges posed by church and state, as well as the influence of commercial propaganda. Yet, there’s an undercurrent of optimism, with Shoulders urging his listeners toward action and change.
