Shirley Green

They may have brushed their teeth next to each other every morning for years.  They most certainly endeavored to raise a child together, move cross country and back, and share much of the minutiae of daily life.

But making music together?  This decision took a bit longer.

Fourteen years into their relationship, Shirley Green bandmates and spouses Alixe Rheeve (vocalist/keyboardist/main songwriter) and Jason Rieve (drums/recording/production) finally took the plunge and made the ultimate commitment in 2013:  They formed a band.

From day one, sexy sax man (and synth player) John Schiefelbein helped round out this original female-fronted group.

Soon after, guitarist Tom Robinson came on board - his long-ago wedding day serenade to Alixe and Jason now part of the history of Shirley Green's musical timeline.

On Their Sound: The band describes their music as “experimental, atmospheric modern rock with emotionally-unstable undertones". Shirley Green songs are vivid, quirky and held together by a common thread of strong melodies. Their songs often run deep.
