It would have been easy for folk-rock/Americana band Shivering Timbers to finish its Oklahoma City gig and head directly south to Austin.
The final plan, after all, was to drive from Ohio and grab exposure at Austin’s annual SxSW celebration.
Instead, band members planned in advance to drive a few hundred extra miles so that Sarah Benn, a lead singer who has found her niche alongside an upright bass, can revisit her home town of Lubbock.
