Shook started a new band called Sarah Shook & the Disarmers in mid to late 2013. The band started as a recording project, with Eric Peterson on guitar, and John Howie Jr. (Two Dollar Pistols, John Howie Jr. & the Rosewood Bluff) on drums, Jason Hendrick on bass fiddle, and Phil Sullivan on lap steel.
In November 2021, Shook announced a third album, Nightroamer, to be released on February 18, 2022 via Thirty Tigers (following the sale of Bloodshot Records, which had caused the album to be delayed). In addition to returning members Peterson, Oliva, and Sullivan, the band for the album was announced to include pedal steel player Adam "Ditch" Kurtz (formerly of American Aquarium) and organist Skip Edwards, with longtime Dwight Yoakam collaborator Pete Anderson producing. Shook said of the album, "I think this record is different than ones we’ve done in the past. It feels every bit as expansive as I wanted it to feel. I didn’t want there to be a shocking, jarring difference, but I definitely wanted it to feel like things are opening up. It’s a bigger feeling experience.”
UPDATE 3/28: The Big Happy join's to open the show!
Hailing from Pennsylvania, Big Happy creates evocative indie rock defined by thick, swirling melodies. Big Happy's debut single, "Summer Sleep" was released in June 2021. Their most recent release, a three-song EP titled "Holy Trinity," dropped in December 2021.
