Fur Lined Volcanoes formed in 2001 shortly after Peter Spivak moved to Winston-Salem, NC. The project originated with our first album, Simple Pleasures. It included fourteen guest musicians. We performed as an acoustic trio at first with Neal Goode on percussion and Mike Chamis on bass. Peter Spivak was the singer/songwriter and played rhythm guitar. It eventually evolved into a seven piece band. There have been many different members, and each of our five studio albums was recorded with a different lineup. Other members have included Matt Scheidt, Bill Scheidt, Ken Simonds, Shannon Kerr, Whit Pitcher, Lee Terry, and Matt Kosma. Many guest musicians also performed and recorded with us along the way.
