ROOTS
Shelley is a child of the Southwest with music in her blood and spirit. What budded in Albuquerque, New Mexico with records, radio, piano and choral singing, culminated in a 3-year stint as lead singer for the locally and regionally-known band, Sub Culture, and the release of their independent recordings. Shelley wrote and played music solo in Nashville, Boulder, Santa Clara/San Jose, and Phoenix, returning home to Albuquerque where she formed the Shelley Barratt Band. Shelley’s voice has a soothing effect, offering a rare level of intimacy to the listener. 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 with acoustic guitars as well as classic percussion instruments and piano.
