Sheva Elliot “River Run Dry”
Americana Highways brings you this premiere of Sheva Elliot’s song “River Run Dry” from her forthcoming album The Valley. The album was recorded at Wild Horizon Sound, produced by Sheva Elliot and co-produced by Silas Nello. It was engineered and mixed by Claire Morison, and mastered by Howie Weinberg, with one song recorded at Straw Horse Studios and engineered by Thomas Ross Johansen.
Musicians on “River Run Dry” are Sheva Elliot on lead vocals, piano and tambourine; Silas Nello on acoustic guitar and backing vocals; Taylor Kropp on electric guitar and backing vocals; Thomas Ross Johansen on organ; Eric England on bass; Max Bauhof on drums and percussion; and Kristie Kiani on backing vocals.
This video was directed, produced and styled by Sheva Elliot; produced and assistant directed by Millie Dweck; with cinematography and editing by Tony Yebra; choreography by Penny Wild; and gaffer Caleb Harris. Video dancers are Imani Lee Peterson and Emily Jordan, and Samson the Snake was provided by Sarah Sherr. Hair and makeup was courtesy of Ray Guzmàn with set photography by Easton Schirra.
As Sheva tells us about this song, “‘River Run Dry’ is about truly letting go, and finding the resulting freedom & power from that.”
This bluesy rootsy number packs a punch on its way out of a toxic relationship. Shadowy cinematography and Sheva singing with a snake underscore the message of shedding the past and moving on in a powerful style.
