'''Thrasher Shiver''' {{IPAc-en|ˈ|θ|r|æ|ʃ|ər|_|ˈ|ʃ|aɪ|v|ər}} was an American [[country music]] duo composed of [[Neil Thrasher]] and Kelly Shiver, both of whom sang [[lead vocals]] and played [[acoustic guitar]]. In late 1996, the duo released a [[Thrasher Shiver (album)|self-titled album]] for [[Asylum Records]], and charted two singles on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now [[Hot Country Songs]]) charts. After the duo split up in 1997, Thrasher found work as a songwriter, writing for [[Rascal Flatts]], [[Kenny Chesney]], and others.

==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, they discovered that their voices blended well, so they decided to form a duo.<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web |url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p194726|pure_url=yes}} |title=allmusic ((( Thrasher Shiver > Biography ))) |accessdate=2007-12-07 |last=Loftus |first=Johnny |work=[[Allmusic]]}}</ref> 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]]. The duo's self-titled debut album was released on September 9, 1996.<ref name="allmusic"/> It produced two chart singles in "Goin' Goin' Gone" and "Be Honest", which respectively reached No. 65 and No. 49. on the country charts. One year after the album's release, [[Diamond Rio]] charted with the song "[[That's What I Get for Lovin' You]]", which Thrasher co-wrote. (He would later co-write the band's 2003 single "Wrinkles" as well.) Thrasher Shiver also was nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year at the [[Country Music Association]] Awards.<ref>[http://www.cmaawards.com/2007/database/ArtistDetail.aspx?artistId=697 Awards Database: Thrasher & Shiver]</ref>

Although Thrasher Shiver did not record another album, both of its members have continued to write songs for other country music artists, with Thrasher being the more prolific of the two.<ref name="allmusic"/> Thrasher's credits include Number One hits for [[Rascal Flatts]] and [[Kenny Chesney]], as well as several cuts by other artists.
