Joan Shelley
- Folk
- Singer/Songwriter
Joan Shelley is a songwriter and singer who draws inspiration from traditional and traditionally-minded performers from her native Kentucky, as well as those from Ireland, Scotland, and England, but she’s not a folksinger. Her disposition aligns more closely with that of, say, Roger Miller, Dolly Parton, or Tom T. Hall, who once explained—simply, succinctly, in a song—“I Witness Life.” Her latest release is the 5-song Mood Ring EP. It was praised by The New York Times, MOJO and Pitchfork.
