Thrasher Shiver (IPAEng|'θræʃɚ/ɹ̩ 'ʃaɪvɚ/ɹ̩; "Shiver" with a long "I") was an American country music duo composed of Neil Thrasher and Kelly Shiver. In late 1996, they released a self-titled album for Asylum Records, and charted two singles on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. After the duo split up in 1997, Thrasher found work as a songwriter, writing hit singles for Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, and several other country music artists.

Biography

Thrasher Shiver was founded in 1995, when singer-songwriters Neil Thrasher and Kelly Shiver were introduced to each other by Bob Doyle, owner of a management company who managed Garth Brooks. When the two began writing and singing songs together, the two discovered that their voices blended well, so they decided to form a duo.cite web |url=http://wm10.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:kjfwxqegldde~T1 |title=allmusic ((( Thrasher Shiver > Biography ))) |accessdate=2007-12-07 |last=Loftus |first=Johnny |work=Allmusic] cite web |url=http://mobile.mystrands.com/artist/26690/biography |title=MyStrands: Thrasher Shiver |accessdate=2007-12-07 |work=MyStrands] Both members sang all the lead vocals together (as opposed to one singing lead and the other singing harmony).

In 1995, Thrasher Shiver was signed to Asylum Records. Their self-titled debut album was released on September 9, 1996. Overall, "Thrasher Shiver" produced two chart singles in "Goin' Goin' Gone" and "Be Honest", which respectively reached #65 and #49. on the country charts.
