ABOUT LITTLE SHRINE

Little Shrine is the music project of songwriter, vocalist, and bassist Jade Shipman, working in collaboration with guitarist Tony Schoenberg, violinist Ryan Avery, drummer Andrew Griffin, and keyboard player Garrett Warshaw.

Best described as indie pop folk, Little Shrine’s sound is driven by melodies and emotionally revealing lyrics, paired with music that is organic, driving, warm, and at times feisty. The 5-piece San Francisco band began in 2014 as a trio with sparse, thoughtful instrumentation, after getting together to work on vulnerable songs born out of a challenging time in Jade’s life. Yet, as the band evolved, a more rock and roll sound arrived, along with drums and keys.

Little Shrine’s first release, an intimate, 8-song mini-album called “Wilderness” produced by Ben Bernstein was released on Oct 20th, 2017. Their second release, a full-length album called “The Good Thing About Time“ was released April 17, 2020.

The name Little Shrine was inspired by the ways people cope with losses, sometimes by creating small shrines to their loved ones in all their complications, silliness, sadness, cheer, and everything in between.

Other projects by Little Shrine’s members include The Saucy Jacks, Felsen, Chance’s End, Lucy and the Long Haul, Unknown Jordans, The Crazies Will Destroy You, and Emily Zisman. Tony and Jade have been collaborating musically since 2006 after meeting through Craigslist. Ryan and Jade met in 2007 over a shared love of dance and eventually realized there was a musical connection as well. When it came time to work on their latest record, Andrew and Garrett linked up with the group to form the current lineup.
