History

The band takes its name from the Cajun term "shivaree", which means, roughly, a noisy mock serenade for newlyweds. It is most commonly used along and to the west of the Mississippi River.

They have produced four full-length albums, one of which was not released in North America due to contract disagreements, with approximately 500,000 sales in total.^{[citation needed]}. Shivaree credits many other musicians in its work and is usually joined by two or three collaborators when performing live. The band has mentioned its use of primarily Southern American ideas and themes, citing William Faulkner as an influence. After contract disagreements with its previous label, the group appeared about to split up after its second album. However, an EP and another two albums followed.

Shivaree's best known song, "Goodnight Moon", was featured in Seasons 3 and 6 of the television series, Dawson's Creek; in the American film, Silver Linings Playbook; in the closing credits of the Quentin Tarantino film, Kill Bill: Volume 2; in the closing scenes and end credits of the French comedy-drama, Ni reprise ni échangée (English title, Monique); and in a commercial for the Norwegian clothing shop, Cubus. The song "Little Black Mess" was heard in the Weeds episode "Only Judy Can Judge."

During a ten-year musical career, the band released four full-length albums, two EPs, and eight singles, some of which included unreleased songs.

Band members

Shivaree's band members were vocalist Ambrosia Parsley, keyboardist Danny McGough, and guitarist Duke McVinnie. Parsley was to have released a solo debut album in the spring of 2011. McGough and McVinnie continue to work independently with other artists as session musicians and producers.
