Shelley King is noted for her strong voice and eclectic stylings. She takes her powerful voice through its paces with blues, rock, gospel and country singing, and bills herself as a Roots Rock and Americana artist.
She released The Highway in 2002. At the Austin Music Awards in 2002, Shelley King and her band won seven awards, including number one Song of The Year: "Call Of My Heart" and the number four spot in the Singer-Songwriter category.
Her years of performing include everything from gospel choirs and musical theatre, to leading various bands through venues across the Southwest. Shelley says, "Live shows are my passion, I love to write and record my music but nothing beats the energy of a live audience." Her debut album is Call of My Heart.
Shelley's unmistakable, passionate voice and emotionally charged entertainment style keep her listeners coming back for more of her upbeat and uplifting songs.
Shelley King's band includes Kyle Judd on guitars and vocals, Tony Velasco on bass guitar and vocals, and Perry Drake on drums.
Karen Tyler wrote this review of Call of My Heart, "Feel-Good Music and The Blues generally don't go hand in hand, when cupped in Shelley King's hands, the two become a refreshing drink. Pure, clear water, on a long, hot day. Part country, part blues with a dash of gospel thrown in... Her powerful, rich voice possesses clarity and a perfect sense of pitch."
King also plays with the all-star female rock power-group Sis DeVille.
