About Me





Introducing Empty Noggin , the TV show that doesn't rely on silly things like plot and storyline. Catch it every Thursday night...err Friday morning at 1:30 following King of the Hill on Channel 3, Portland's CW. I'm the Executive producer and official show dish washer. For those who enjoy wonderfully dry press releases, click here .
This is flick my second appearance on the show.


Hello. My name is Shel Bailey, and I am an entertainer?
Check out my band The Big Package .
Hear my radio station at Charliefm.com .
Visit my TV shows Empty Noggin and PDXposed . You can watch episodes of PDXposed in the player here. Show number 60 is my favorite. I survive The Globe of Death! However, show #68 is fun too. It features the Oregon Music Hall of Fame inductions with Everclear and more.
This summer I celebrated my 16th year in radio broadcasting. Funny. It doesn't feel like anyone should be doing anything for 16 years! If you're interested, here's my long, meandering story.
After living in the woods of North Idaho and doing a syndicated show, I decided to move to Portland, Oregon where I'm currently the Marketing Project Manager for the six Entercom stations in Portland. I'm also the station voice for 97.1 Charlie FM and I'm often a fill-in for 92.3 KGON The Classic Rock Station . Prior to all this, I was the the marketing manager for Charlie and helped to launch the station.
I have a BA in business management, an AS in journalism, and a technical broadcasting degree. In January. I returned to school to get my masters. It's nuts.
My most favorite thing in the whole world (except for THAT thing), is playing with my band. I play bass and sing at several venues in the Portland metro, and have sung the national anthem at the Rose Garden four times. My band, The Big Package, has performed at The Rose Festival, The Aladdin Theater, Sand in the City, and The Bite. We've also opened for Kool & The Gang at Hot July Nights. It was......cool. Now I'm just bragging.
Last summer I began a new venture, co-hosting the local television show PDXposed. I don't understand why they haven't fired me.

Movies:

Shel's Demo Reel



A top notch news reporter. Covers The Bite of Portland, Shootings, and Man's Head Explodes into Flowers.

Shel's Commercial Clip



Short interview on identity theft. Dark scary movies are fun, but I can't handle the gore. So, comedy's are good. Have you seen The Big Lebowski? You, Me & Everyone We Know is cool too.

Television:

I am a news junkie. There's this really neat non-news show called Empty Noggin that I seem to like a lot. It's on PDX 49 every THursday at 2 a.m. If you're not up, you can watch it on www.youtube.com/emptynoggin

Books:

The Kaballion. Ways of the Strega. Curious George. 4. Text books. I just love text books.

Heroes:

My Granny, Dracula, the All, anyone not in radio, and people that just go out and do good stuff. A lot of random kindness went into the making of me.

They're all dead now. Was the show really that bad?
