Drawing inspiration from the Chopin and Debussy of her childhood piano lessons right alongside with the chanteuses of the 1930s and more eclectic modern acts such as Antony & The Johnsons, Owen Pallett, and Van Dyke Parks, Shenandoah Davis's tiny masterpieces have been branded everything from parlour music to new folk to orchestral pop.

Davis self-released her sophomore effort The Company We Keep in August, which Don Yates of KEXP called an often-gorgeous set of classical-influenced avant-pop with dynamic, intricate arrangements and Cory Frye of the Corvallis Gazette-Times labeled as an album wrapped in brittle crimsons and delicate browns, wrought with tension and a slightly fractured whimsy. The record was picked up by radio stations across the country and abroad, quickly becoming one of the Top 3 Self-Released Records on the CMJ charts, and has already made its appearance on several end-of-year Top Ten lists.

She has recently completed a 16-week tour of the United States, and will be touring in New Zealand during February and March where she will be joined by multi-instrumentalists Ethan Demerest (Drums, Guitar) and Stelth Ulvang (Accordion, Clarinet), as well as select dates with Kate Uhe on cello (City Oh Sigh, St. Rupertsberg).
