Bio

"Incognito Seething Rocker"
--Expository Magazine

For 2011's FAWM, Shelley challenged herself to write a song a day...and she did, for 3 weeks straight...on banjo, piano, guitar, melodica, and whatever else she could find (it helped that Chicago got buried in snow on February 2nd). 10 of those 21 songs are on a new album (aptly titled "February") that she'll be releasing this spring.

For this year's FAWM, she's challenging herself to be a little noisier and get to know her drum kit and electric guitar.

"Listening to her is like pulling up a pair of very, very soft faded jeans over bare skin."

--Les Reynolds, indie-music.com

    Heard your contribution to the Exquisite Corpse work and just was mesmerized by your smoky vocal. Planning on checking out more things you've done, but wanted to complement right off the bat for your lovely sound.

    Ooo! Really... well, if you're curious, you can hear my two Dustyish songs here:

    http://soundcloud.com/cubeb/if-he-ever-lets-you-down
    http://soundcloud.com/cubeb/you-lied-to-me

    The vocals are pretty bad--not really in my range, quite. But if you think they seem interesting, let me know. But don't feel any pressure, please.

    I haven't told you yet how great your exquisite corpse section is. I love your voice--all smoky and stuff. In fact, this last 5090 I was trying to write "Dusty Springfield songs" (I managed two, I think), but I never found my Dusty. You would have been perfect.

    Hi Shelley, wow have you been prolific!! Life is getting on top of me.. not sure (unlikely) I'm gonna have time for the challenge, ? just post the song you've done? So sorry.. I knew Feb would be busy but I've made it mental!
  • theodamus 2 months ago
    Hello, what is your email address for the exquisite corpse? Mine is theodamus at gmail if you want to email me so I have yours!
  •  rosieposy8 2 months ago

  •  rosieposy8 3 months ago

  •  tcelliott 3 months ago
    yeah, so... this: http://fawm.org/songs/25337/

    Let me know if it doesn't live up to standards and I"ll do another *evil grin*
  •  johnthomasmumm 3 months ago
    Thanks! I posted your song here: http://organizingsound.com/results-home-chord/
  •  johnthomasmumm 3 months ago
    Hey Shelley, would it be alright if I hosted your one-chord challenge song on my blog? If so, which website would you want me to link to (I see you've got a number of social sites listed up there)?
  •  tcelliott 3 months ago
    Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to write a song using personification from the point of view of an inanimate object. The choice of object is entirely yours. Although a tombstone or rotting corpse would be cool. Still, it is up to you.
