The Spine Stealers with Rianna Marie & The Miller Sisters
February 24 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$8
The Spine Stealers are an eerie folk band fronted by songwriter Emma O’Shea, whose songs conjure dark lakes, brain-burned nostalgia and fractured memories. In just three years, they’ve etched their name into the region’s folk scene, quietly amassing a devoted following. The band grew from the duo of Kate Ruland and Emma O’Shea, who learned guitar together during the pandemic and started frequenting open mics in the end of 2022.
The band took on their first national tour through the Western US and released their second EP, Yellow Feather in 2025. They have been featured on Gems on VHS Long Playlist and October 2024 Playlist, won the 2023 Blue Ox Virtual Band Competition, as well as making the official Blue Ox Music Festival lineup in 2025 and supported acts such as Haley Heyndrickx, Chris Acker, Basia Bulat, The Last Revel, Them Coulee Boys, Dead Horses, Wild Horses, Charlie Parr, Palmyra and Arcadian Wild. thespinestealers.com
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Rianna Marie began writing in the stillness of rural life, where storytelling took her outside of her small-town. After a few years in Nashville, she’s back in the Madison area, writing songs that explore how our stories intertwine – growing, shifting, and shaping the way we move through the world together. Her writing is inspired by artists like Kate Wolf, Joni Mitchell, and The Secret Sisters. riannamariemusic.com
