The upcoming performances add to what has been a landmark year for the trio, who released their acclaimed new album Shindo, earlier this fall via Weirdo Workshop/Thirty Tigers—stream/purchase HERE. In celebration of the record, the group recently made their “TODAY” debut performing their Billboard top 10 single, “Last Night Was Good For My Soul” —watch HERE. Additionally, they are set to make their Grand Ole Opry debut on Tuesday, December 19.
Produced by Louis York—the Grammy Award-winning duo of Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony (Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Jazmine Sullivan)—Shindo is a modern take on the beloved girl group genre that taps into R&B and soul to bring forth a sound they call “New American Soul.” Across its nine tracks, The Shindellas showcase the depths of their combined vocals with a sound that spans soul music’s past, present and future.
Critical acclaim for Shindo:
“on ‘Shindo’…the group puts its charisma, attitude and personality up front”—The New York Times
“The Shindellas’ ‘Shindo’ could have hits that start the group on the path to mirroring previous and existing standards of success for African-American female R&B artists.”—The Tennessean
“The Shindellas represent women in music who know themselves personally and creatively regardless of genres besides working as a collective.”—BET
“As they continue to forge a path ahead, the Shindellas are letting their fearlessness lead the way in hopes of making others feel the joy and love they infused into Shindo and every other piece of music they have to offer.”—American Songwriter
“The ‘girl group’ sound of the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s is not dead. It lives on in the delicious sound of this Nashville trio.”—Music Row
“In The Shindellas’ capable hands and marvelous voices, this amalgam makes for a joyous listening experience.”—No Depression
“The Shindellas are one of the most exciting groups to come out of Nashville in recent memory”—The Bluegrass Situation

The Shindellas—Tamara Chauniece, Stacy Johnson and Kasi Jones—made history as the first R&B band to perform at the CMT Awards in 2021. In addition to widespread critical acclaim, the trio has performed most recently at the 2023 Black Music Honors, as well as at the 2022 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting, Disney’s Dreamers Academy, ESSENCE Festival of Culture, TEDxNashville Women and the 2021 CMA Country Christmas.
