Music like Shivaree

Shivaree was an Americana band formed in 1997, consisting of Ambrosia Parsley (vocals), Danny McGough (keyboard), and Duke McVinnie (guitar). Shivaree is best known for the song "Goodnight Moon", released in 1999, heard in Dawson's Creek, Kill Bill: Volume 2, and Silver Linings Playbook. Shivaree officially disbanded in 2007 after a very brief promotional tour of its last album, Tainted Love.

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.. 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.
