About Frames in Motion

A group of five smiling people walking in a field with tall grass and trees in the background during daytime.

Frames in Motion is the brainchild of Seattle-based singer, guitarist, and songwriter Jack Shriner. A musical omnivore, Shriner writes multi-layered, harmony-rich music that merges elements of folk rock, indie-pop, prog, and neo-psychedelia. After collaborating many years with bassist and backing vocalist Matt Butler and drummer David Solomon, Jack’s current full-band lineup is a five-piece including Seattle artists Shelley Weiss on violin and vocals, Owen Ladner on keyboards and vocals, Charles Wicklander on bass, and Sam Veatch on drums.

"A smart, creative force, a singer/songwriter who explores traditional and non-traditional subjects for genre but with a sonic scope that expands beyond conventional expectation." - ARTISTdirect

Shriner and Weiss also perform Frames in Motion material as an acoustic duo. Shows in 2025 included a performance at the Northwest Folklife Festival as part of Buskarama.
