Founded by singer/songwriter/keyboardist Brian Riley, Shave Librarian has been mesmerizing the public since 1993. Shave's first two full-length recording projects, ARIEL (1994) and DONE DOG BROWN (1995) were independently released in Ohio. Fronted by Riley, the band continues to consist of an ever-evolving cast of talented session musicians and vocalists.

Riley transplanted the Shave sound to Boston in 1995. He recorded the third Shave Librarian project, a 10-song CD titled THE BUTTER THIEF at IRN Studios in Brighton, MA. Several local studio musicians, including the owners of IRN contributed their talents to this critically acclaimed CD (released 1997).

GOD OF RAIN was released in 2000. This powerful 8-song CD was recorded at Big T Productions in Chinatown (Boston). Shave Librarian would like to thank Tony Schultz, owner/engineer of Big T Productions as well as Jonathan Wyner at M Works Mastering in Cambridge, MA for contributing their talents and expertise.

So what's next for Shave Librarian? Their latest CD Single, 'Uncle Joe' (2003) is featured in the independent film '20 Questions'. Riley also makes his film/acting debut. 2004 marks ten years of Shave Librarian recordings. Celebrate with the new 15-song 'Greatest Hits' CD. Currently the band is hard at work on the next (fifth) full-length Shave Librarian CD. Riley says to expect some 'really incredible material.'Stay tuned... Stay Shaved...
