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 four-piece including Seattle artists Owen Ladner on keyboards and vocals, Jon Fickes on bass and vocals, and Sam Veatch on drums, with Shelley Weiss contributing on viola and violin in the studio. A new album is in the works—details coming soon.

"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, with Veatch on cajon/percussion. Shows in 2025 included a performance at the Northwest Folklife Festival as part of Buskarama.
