Since the release of our 4-song debut EP, "Angel Ridge" in 2009, the music and band, Jen Schaffer and the Shiners, has evolved. We've honed both our ensemble playing and original material to the point that a full-length album was ripe for the making. Amongst the 30 some songs I've written over this time, we have selected 12 to record for this "Fate Line" project.

The Shiners, my talented and dedicated band – collaborators, Woodford enthusiasts and friends one and all – consist of Simon Law on drums, keyboards and background vocals, Astrid Foster on bass and background vocals, John Teshima on guitar, keyboard and bass, and our very own jazzer-come-fiddler, Jonathan Marks, on violin, viola, mandolin and background vocals.

We all went into the studio in August of 2013 to start recording these songs at the wonderful and award-winning studio of Jeremy Darby, The Canterbury Music Company. Simon Law, Shiner, Soul II Soul original member, Grammy-award winning songwriter and producer, is producing our album. The album will to be released or emerge in November 2014.
