I know nothing about Shurman, except what I just read and heard on their web site, but here's what Chris Morris of Billboard Magazine has to say about the band:
You can attach many handles to the music on shurman’s debut album jubilee—country rock, cowpunk, rock’n’roll, alt-country, Americana—but none of them really nails the band’s sound.
The hard-touring Los Angeles quartet played more than 400 shows in 2003-4, headlining clubs and opening for such diverse acts as Blues Traveler, Ziggy Marley, Cross Canadian Ragweed, the Jayhawks, the Drive-By Truckers, Los Lonely Boys and Sammy Hagar. Obviously, they’ve forged a sound that refuses to be pigeonholed. Aaron Beavers, shurman’s lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, notes, “We just go out and say, ‘This is what we do.’"
