Shady Cove

Shady Cove is the collaborative project of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Sarah Rose and Sarah Nienaber. What began as a spontaneous exploration of sound in a remote Oregon cabin has since evolved into something both expansive and deeply rooted. Their self-titled debut, recorded in the Pacific Northwest, was a meditation on longing and movement—desire’s pull toward the horizon.

After multiple tours supporting their self-titled debut, the duo returned home to record Shady Cove Part II, this time in Portland, before mixing with Larry Crane at Jackpot! Recording Studio. The album, released in the fall of 2024, drifts deeper into their signature dream pop atmosphere, where guitars shimmer and dissolve, synths swell with orchestral grandeur, and voices drift between memory and possibility.

Now based in the wooded quiet of western Wisconsin, Shady Cove continues to chase the ever-receding shoreline—finding, in the search itself, something like home.
