5 Revolving Doors is the collective music of Shelley Barratt and those who accompany her Indie Rock Americana songs and melodic lyrics.
With different generations and musical backgrounds, members of 5RD have had various successes in their own right with music and beyond; that's what makes this synergy so special. Besides signing Shelley's album, Origin of Flight, to Rescue Records for music licensing, the band's songs have received acclaim in the Billboard World Song Contest, have been featured in Cinemasounds in theatres across the country, have been nominated for Fame Games Effigy Awards and ‘Reviewers Picks’, and more.
Currently based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 5 Revolving Doors has recently released new music as well as a music video, and will continue to release 1-2 songs at a time as recording continues in-process at Hit Factor Productions and REMA Records.
