The renowned 19th century French historian Jules Michelet once said, "Woman is a miracle of divine contradiction." True to form, Shelly Colvin is a vivacious old soul; a grounded free spirit in designer jeans and a flea market t-shirt; doing yoga while listening to Townes Van Zandt (namasté y'all!). She is simply complex. Shelly was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama and spent many of her childhood years as the precocious third part in her family's traveling three-piece band. Gospel and bluegrass are staples in her family; her grandmother still plays a wicked fiddle every weekend at the local community center. Shelly learned she had a knack for harmony singing classic tunes like "Old Rugged Cross" and "Abilene." At the University of Alabama, Shelly majored in Finance and minored in Theater, the ying and yang of academia. She starred in a TV soap opera and piled Widespread Panic and Phish onto her stack of musical influences. She was in the homecoming court and spent summers discovering the nooks and crannies of Europe while traveling by herself. With a degree in hand and no idea what to do with it, Shelly moved to Los Angeles, waited tables at Arnold Schwarzenegger's restaurant, appeared on MTV with Snoop Dogg and Tommy Lee (not at the same time), became a certified yoga instructor and formed a country-folk duo that was ultimately produced by the infamous Jimmy Bowen. Shelly has collaborated and shared the stage with Chris Hillman (The Byrds, The Desert Rose Band), Herb Pederson (The Desert Rose Band), and Jackson Browne, drawing from them the California Country Folk sound they each in their own way helped create. The call of the South ultimately came in and she answered, moving to Nashville a couple of years ago. She continues to grow as an artist and songwriter, and plans are in the works to begin an album this spring with producer Frank Liddell, who recently won Album of the Year for co-producing Miranda Lambert's album, Gunpowder and Lead. Shelly lives in the Little Hollywood section of East Nashville with her husband Jeff, a music attorney, and her puppy, Emmylou.
