One of the few Akron-based bands to regularly play Cleveland, indie rockers Shivering Timbers are set to open for singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell on Saturday at the Beachland Tavern. Then, the group then plays a Summer Tour Kick-off show on May 8 at Musica in Akron. Band members promise to have new T-shirts for sale and the show will be filmed for the new web series Akron City Limits. The band’s performance will be the debut episode of the new program. The group is “heading out West” for a month and is also in the process of recording a new album. You can check out the new shirt designs here.
