Press Reviews "Watch out, this scabby knee girl is going to get ya! More rhythm than a steam locomotive, lyrics hot enough to melt rock, and a voice that squeezes out the emotions like an orange juice maker set on "every last drop." --Charlie McShane, host "Music New and Used", UIC Radio, Chicago At times, she sounds like an innocent child singing softly to herself...only to go into her signature low-toned growls of heartache and deep self-entrospection. Her songs are stripped down and aoustic, which allows nothing to get in the way of her emotive storytelling. --Fabian Guerra, Quest Management; Manager/Talent Buyer, Big Horse Lounge, Chicago, IL I am totally blown away. Shelley has an incredibly expressive voice, and the music shows tremendous range and diversity...'Follow' would not sound out of place on an Ani release circa Out of Range or Not A Pretty Girl. --Tim Baldwin, Buffalo, NY
