Shiver Fox is a new band from two local musicians who have done well for themselves in the past. Trey Tosh, an accomplished rock and blues artist, joined forces with Kyle Baker, who toured nationally and internationally with rock band Flight 409. Together, they call their new project "modern vintage" -- that means its dripping with classic influences, but also has the attitude and energy you'd expect from two guys in their early 20s.
Shiver Fox's EP release party is tonight at Starline, 831 E. Fern Ave. It starts at 9 p.m. and has a $10 cover. The first 50 people through the door get a free Shiver Fox T-shirt. Advance tickets are available at The Laundry Room for $8. Read more →October 29
