Shivering Timbers' story developed when married couple Sarah and Jayson Benn started singing and crafting songs for their infant daughter; as she grew the music began to take shape, and a band was born. They were discovered by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach when they were invited to play at his birthday party. Their first album was subsequently recorded at Auerbach's Akron studio, a collection of home-spun dark folk songs and fractured fairy tales called 'We All Started in the Same Place'. Through Auerbach, the couple met Brian Olive (Sarah sang harmonies on his last solo album Two of Everything), and he signed-on to produce the Timbers' sophomore album Sing Sing (2012), a collection of songs and sounds that distills and intensifies the vibe of the first release. More importantly, Shivering Timbers have been honing their considerable craft on relentless tour stops with Shovels & Rope, Jessica Lea Mayfield, The Chapin Sisters, and so many more, resulting in a live presence that combines Indie Rock energy, Blues/Punk passion, and Country/Gospel reflection. Strengthened by their loyalty to each other, their family, and their music, these homeschooling parents enjoy life on the road, and are working on songs for a third album. For live performances, the band is backed by drummer Daniel Kshywonis, building a unique atmosphere around the songs of Shivering Timbers. Their official website is www.ShiveringTimbersMusic.com.
