Dwayne Shivers

Dwayne Shivers is a folk ensemble from East Atlanta, GA, fronted by the songwriter and ATL Collective co-founder Micah Dalton. After more than ten years of touring, six releases, and exhibiting an “appealingly intrepid mixture of folk, blues, soul, and R&B” (Obscure Sound), Dalton formed the band to match a new artistic direction and vision. Dwayne's 2014 debut EP, recorded in Athens, GA, was marked as a "batch of new-generation spirituals and fleecy, exquisite blues" by CMT Edge. From 2015-2017 Dalton worked to finish the Dwayne Shivers debut full-length album along with Anthony Aparo (Improvement Movement), Brooklyn-based producer Jeremy McDonald (Kevin Garrett, Welcome Wagon) and mix engineer Jason Kingsland (Belle & Sebastian, Deerhunter, Iron & Wine).” In 2017, single “Waking Light” (with Kyshona Armstrong) was featured on CBS’ “Criminal Minds,” ABC’s “Conviction,” and CBS’ “Salvation.” The debut album "Buffered & Blest", is slated for an early 2019 release.
