My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/20/2007
Band Website: WWW.SHELLYRANN.COM
Band Members: Shelly Rann: Vocals/ Lyrics/ Guitar
Influences: Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Patsy Cline, Eva Cassidy, Aretha Franklin & Sting, Tina Turner. Great music in general.
Sounds Like: Her voice is an astonishing instrument, effortlessly spiraling from an emotion-choked whisper to a hallelujah of gale-force might. We hear echoes of Trisha Yearwood's countrified majesty and Crystal Gayle's jazzy seductiveness, combined with a hint of Tina Turner's R&B fire and steeped in the earthy soulfulness of Shelly's native state. But, ultimately, what we hear is pure Shelly Rann, combining all of her varied influences into a rare originality that, once heard, won't ever be forgotten!
Record Label: Pending
Type of Label: Major
