“Brand New Shoes" is a cross-genre, acousti-jam CD from Ryan Shupe & the RubberBand. Whether it's the acoustic reggae pop song "Meant to Be", the country music parody "Baldy", the bluegrass political satire "One Of Those Guys", the world beat "My Dandelion", or the jamming "He Knows Karate", this album features top notch musicianship, witty creative songwriting and great musical depth.

The title track is a fun jam dance tune about a kid’s pair of ‘Brand New Shoes’ that not only helps him run faster and jump higher, but lands him on the news stations and gets everyone talking. It’s PostHeeHawFunkadelicHipHopNewGrass in its finest form!
