The six piece band- Al Ruiz, Brenda Radney, Kevin Connolly, Davis Schleicher, Mike Ortiz and Bryan Sherbrook- are also working on an album.&nbsp;</p><p>Bassist Al Ruiz&nbsp;formed the band back in 2011&nbsp;and describes their sound as "garage soul".</p><p>"We started off a lot lighter sounding, more towards the Motown feel, and changed around 2013, 2014. Through a series of events, we lost our old singer and we met Brenda, and the style changed. It's got a lot more rock and roll to it, a lot more soul."</p><p>Before joining the Sh-Booms, singer Brenda Radney had a record deal with Justin Timberlake for 8 years.</p><p>"I walked away from that, joined the band, and we've just kind of catapulted from then," says Radney.</p><p>"I've always wanted to be in a band," she adds.</p><p>"It just felt like the right fit."</p><p>Ruiz says the reception to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bsms0bJ0bdk" target="_blank">their tiny desk video</a> for&nbsp;<i>Audible&nbsp;</i>has been "incredible".</p><p>"This is the most traction we've seen in the band since we started," says Ruiz.</p><p>The Sh-Booms perform&nbsp;<i>Leon, Audible,&nbsp;</i>and&nbsp;<i>Dry Eyes.&nbsp;</i></p><p>[masterslider id="97"]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded>
