MUSIC from the contemporary heart: Nouveau Folk, Acoustic Rock, Pop with Jazz, Blues, Celtic and Latin influences. Clear vocals intertwine with guitars, keyboards, solid drums, percussion and lush harmonies. The direction each song takes is unconventional, yet accessible. Melodic and poetic, music blends with unique rhythms to inspire inward reflection, outward expression and harmony in living. Shelley's voice has a soothing effect, offering a rare level of intimacy to the listener.
NOW Home in Albuquerque, Shelley plays live regionally, both solo and with The Shelley Barratt Band. She is currently working on her sophomore album, Water from Heaven.
ROOTS Shelley considers herself a child of the Southwest: from a musical family, records and radio, piano and choral singing, to lead singer for the locally and regionally-known Albuquerque band, Sub Culture- and the release of their independent recordings. On to Nashville, Boulder, the Silicon Valley, and Phoenix her songwriting bloomed and expanded into the many directions you hear in her music today. Shelley released her debut solo album, Origin of Flight, in 2004. She has been in bands, drummed, sang back-up for various artists in many locales, and has created music for modern dance, special occasions and visual media. A LIFETIME MUSICIAN indeed!
