Description

The SHEL sisters turn folk music upside down with infectious rhythms, hypnotic vocals and stunning musicianship. Since the release of SHEL’s self titled debut CD, they have toured across the US and Europe mesmerizing audiences with their distinctive, sisterly vocal arrangements and energized performances.

Raised on a farm in Fort Collins, Colorado, the four sisters are classically trained musicians, who started performing at a very young age as the back up band for their singer/songwriter father. SHEL is an acronym for their names; Sarah on violin, Hannah on keyboard, Eva on mandolin, Liza on drums, djembe and beatboxing. The band has garnered rave reviews for creating all of their own music videos while traveling the world with Sarah as the videographer and editor. In addition, SHEL’s songs can also be heard in television shows, independent films and national TV commercials. SHEL’s multi-media approach to music makes them the perfect fit for performing and mentoring at Kids On Stage. Visit www.shelmusic.com for more information.
