Vocals and VPS (Various Percussive “Stuff”)

Shelley has been singing almost as long as she has been talking, and still loves to do both!   Having made her living as a performer since she was 18 years old, she worked primarily out of the Dallas area with a number of bands including Dash Riprock and the Dragons and Custom Made.  Shelley’s bands have frequently been the opening act for a long list of artists including Randy Travis, The Commodores, Alabama, The Temptations, Restless Heart, Mister Mister, and The Beach Boys, just to name a few.  Shelley starred in a critically-acclaimed theatrical production called American Jukebox in many theatres across America, including extended engagements at the Ford’s Theatre in Washington DC and an invited tour in Osaka Japan, where they received a true “Rock Star” reception.  Additionally, thru-out her career, Shelley has done many radio and television commercials, jingles & voice-overs.  When Shelley takes the stage with Sound Advice, she’s hard to miss !
