Trey Tosh and Kyle Baker, both fixtures on Fresno’s erratic music scene, started penning down collective ideas for the better part of 2009. The goal was simple: write music they could stand behind. What was realized was a hole they both felt passionate to patch up. Enter Shiver Fox.
With the heat of each of their recent successes – The Trey Tosh Band and Flight 409 – lighting their heels, Tosh and Baker knew they were on to something big. Tosh has opened for Peter Frampton’s main stage, played the Music Mountain Blues Festival main stage and the ever-popular South by Southwest festival in Austin. His talent will be highlighted on Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s new album, out this month. You can read more about his accomplishments in “You Can’t Stop a Comet” by Cutter Brandenburg, Stevie Ray Vaughn’s long-time manager.
Kyle Baker is a man to be reckoned with all his own. Having toured internationally, throughout the U.S. and Canada with major record labels, you may have caught him on the Rockin’ Roots Music Festival main stage, or any number of Vans Warped Tours, Taste of Chaos or South by Southwest tours. With a CD released in Japan on Radtone Records, a 1 placement on CMJ 200 radio charts for multiple weeks in a row, and features in Fresno Magazine, AP Magazine and Skratch Magazine, it’s safe to say the collaboration of Tosh and Baker is one like no other.
Shiver Fox is a rowdy revival of a time when rock “rocked” and does it wickedly well. Far from literal, Shiver Fox expertly concocts a frenzy of rock and roll, laced with heavy doses of blues, punk, western and soul. Stay tuned for intoxicating libations from Fresno’s take on deep-rooted, modern vintage rock: SHIVER FOX.
