Reviews
- Shivering Timbers: Art reflects life reflects Akron
- Thrust Magazine
- “I’ve always been influenced and inspired by artists who are unafraid to push themselves beyond their comfort zones and for whom genre isn’t a concern,” he says. “I’m more interested in making sounds that complement the given song’s lyrics or mood than I am in deciding whether we should be a progressive rock or a bluegrass band.” Read More

- Jayson and Sarah Benn owe a passion for music to their 3-year-old daughter Suzi. The husband and wife duo from Akron left separate bands to form Shivering Timbers after they started putting nursery rhymes to music to entertain their daughter... Read More

- Shivering TImbers: The Dark Side of Nursery Rhymes
- The Big Takeover
- Within their adaptations of classic nursery rhymes and folk tunes, however, the Benns couldn’t help but gravitate toward the more macabre end of the spectrum, twisting an almost Nick Cave-ish, lo-fi spookiness out of tracks like “Crooked Old Man” and “Noble Duke of York.” In other words, it might be kids music, but is sure as hell ain’t VeggieTales...

- Interview with Shivering Timbers
- Baby You Can Drive My Car
- Akronite Sarah (also playing in Hey Mavis) and Jayson Benn are truly two awesome people, and their music is just like us. Inspired by the birth and growing up of their baby daughter, they crafted delicate songs that they could sing to her. They brought into them everything American music has to offer (well, only the best, actually), and everything their musical background (everything from punk rock to gospel and blues to classical, not to forget family singing reunion around the pit fire) has left on them...

- Many of the 11 songs on We All Started in the Same Place are imbued with a calming, lullaby flavor.
