Radio Bobcat is a high-energy Americana Rock and Roll band tearing through Northern California with a sound that’s equal parts raw power and improvisational soul. Formed in late 2023, the band—led by Shane Soldinger (guitar/lead vocals) and featuring Joe Shotwell (percussion/vocals), Jack Hines (bass/vocals), Dave Zirbel (Pedal steel) and Adam Traum (guitar)—creates music that pulses with a positive vibration and unites everyone in the room.

Named after the wild spirit of perseverance that roams the Northern California landscape, Radio Bobcat channels the restless energy, timeless groove and the communal ethos of the great Rock and Roll continuum.

In short order, the band has crafted an impressive catalog of compelling originals alongside re-imagined deep covers, delivering them with a rock and roll backbone that knows when to lock in tight and when to let loose. Whether they’re lighting up venues across the North Bay or expanding their reach beyond, every show is an invitation to be part of something bigger. Radio Bobcat is proving that rock and roll isn’t just alive in the Bay Area, it’s thriving.
