White Ghost Shivers
With White Ghost Shivers, the sounds of ragtime and Western swing live on. The seven-piece band rose to local prominence in the early ’00s, eventually accruing accolades in the Austin Music Award’s must curious honor—Best None of the Above—after the debut of its second album,Everyone’s Got ’Em. The band has since recruited and booted several members, a revolving door of modern vaudevillians who all mix the absurd with the sublime. While a new LP, Nobody Loves You Like We Do, is due out today, White Ghost Shivers’ songs are best served live, where the band delivers a performance so potent, it’s been known to inspire audiences to juke, jive, and even indulge in some old-fashioned hokum.
