About Me

THE BLUE SHIVERS is the band that everyone's talking about in the tri-state. Combining two of Cincinnati's hottest blues talents, Emily "Roxy" Akins and Ryan Hickey, comes the POWER HOUSE four-piece band featuring Dave Palermo on Drums and Mark Boltin on Bass, that pumps out the most soulful and chill-inducing mix of blues, rock, R&B, and soul. YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS BAND! s t a y t u n e d !!!!

Ever since hearing Stevie Ray Vaughan's performance of "Leave My Little Girl Alone" at Austin City Limits at the tender age of 14, Ryan had something sparked in his soul that was destined to radiate. Since then he took up a Fender Stratocaster and hasn't looked back.

Musical Energy and Einstein?

One thing that really makes me enjoy music is the transfer of energy that takes place with each resounded note of music. In our part of the Milky Way, stars were born and died, scattering alkalin...
