We love Nancy Guppy and were super honored to be featured live on her special "vinyl edition" of Art Zone last week! If you missed it on TV, you can watch it right here on the Seattle Channel!

I couldn't be happier to have my new album, THE MAN WHO MADE HIMSELF A NAME (produced by Martin Fevyear, The Spectacles and yours truly!) is finally out in the world via Nine Mile Records/Redeye. The reception has been amazing (we're already on our 2nd run of CDs & vinyl is moving fast too!), there's been loads of great press, and I'm about to hit the road to share the new songs with people along the west coast! If you haven't ordered the album yet, you can do so right here...
The NEW ALBUM, THE MAN WHO MADE HIMSELF A NAME, AVAILABLE NOW! ORDER (CD/Vinyl/Digital) at: Bandcamp // iTunes // Amazon
Or come to a show sometime soon! I would love to see your face.
The new album hits shelves TOMORROW(!), but you can listen to the whole thing today (a day early!) at Pure Volume! Click on the pic to hear THE MAN WHO MADE HIMSELF A NAME!
As though my heart can handle any more excitement this week, NPR's Weekend Edition aired a beautiful segment about my song "Strong Swimmer" (off the new album, THE MAN WHO MADE HIMSELF A NAME, out March 10th!) this morning. Notes of trauma and healing have been streaming in all morning from around the country, and I am so moved and humbled. Thank you all for sharing your stories with me. And if you missed this radio segment today, you can listen to it here...
If you'd like to hear a live version of the song you can stream this recording of my performance on KEXP's Morning Show with John Richards earlier this week. <3

Check out the 2nd single from Shelby's new record, THE MAN WHO MADE HIMSELF A NAME, exclusively at Impose Magazine!
My bandmate, Navid Eliot, and I went into the salty desert on tour last October and shot all this footage, which my MEGA talented pal Luke Mckinley turned into this fly little teaser vid for the single. See if you can spot the Morton's Salt Factory in the background!
I am THRILLED to announce that my new record will be released nationally on March 10th, 2017 via Nine Mile Records/Red Eye (more news of that + NEW SONG PREMIERES coming very soon!). I'm also excited to announce that tickets for our album release celebrations in WA State are ON SALE NOW!
MORE TOUR DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED VERY SOON! If you would like to be the FIRST to get info on all of the above, you can sign up on the mailing list HERE.
Looking forward to celebrating with all of you very soon!

It's been a quiet year on the "news" front because I've been holed up at home in Seattle making a new record and focusing on my personal life, but I'm excited to announce that I'm getting back in the world and out on the road! I'll play a band show this Friday in Seattle, at my home venue, Tractor Tavern (as a part of the fabulous Macefield Music Festival!). And then next month I'll hit the road opening for the talented the Felice Brothers. See below and on the TOUR page for details. Hope to see you around the bend!

Remember that terrifying article about "The Really Big One" in the New Yorker? Well, it inspired some art-making, in the form of an "apocalyptic love story" video for my new single "Stay With Me Tonight (feat. The Spectacles)." The Wall Street Journal has the full story and the premiere right HERE!
A big thanks to Seattle's KING5 Evening Magazine and Saint Bryan for the fantastic feature on last night's episode! Click the photo below to watch the segment!
