- Shivering Timbers, Noah Earle
- Husband-and-wife duo Sarah and Jayson Benn were discovered by Grammy-winning artist and producer Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) at a birthday party. From there, the band’s rough-hewn Americana sound began to make its way to the masses. Vocally, Sarah is a revelation – she has been compared to a cross between P.J. Harvey and Patsy Cline – while Jayson uses his six-string to supply much of the band’s sonic texture. Read More
- Music: Shivering Timbers with Darlene
- The twosome — which blends Folk, Blues, Indie Rock and other elements into their dark, compelling mix — recorded its first album in Auerbach’s studio, then befriended one of Auerbach’s pals, Cincinnati’s Brian Olive, using his studio in the Queen City to record their superb, acclaimed second album, Sing Sing. With great songwriting and an ever-rising profile thanks to consistent touring — including a few weeks out with stardom-bound Shovels & Rope — Shivering Timbers might just find themselves following in Auerbach’s footsteps to the Grammys stage within the next couple of years.

- A Good Read, a Good Listen, and a Good Drink: Shivering Timbers
- Life in the Shivering Timbers’ household, i.e. the home of Sarah and Jayson Benn in Akron, Ohio, doesn’t leave much time for leisurely drink while flipping through pages and listening to the hi-fi. On top of raising their four-year-old girl and the handful of jobs that Jayson works, the band just released their second, beautiful album, Sing Sing. But, fortunately for us, they did find a moment to share a few favorites for when they do have time to sit still for a while. Read More
