shelles's 2023 Concert History

Shelles started from the bare bones recordings of songwriter Stuart Edwards, who formerly wrote songs with the outfit Old Bricks. He takes his understated, often grave content, and adds a full band including Justin Blatt (viola, Shit Horse), Chris Girard (bass, formerly of Spider Bags), John Jaquiss (drums, Jphono1), and Reid Johnson (guitar, Schooner). The five-piece advances his compositions into a sweeping Southern Gothic affair, with rhythms and tonal nuances resonating underneath Edwards' hauntingly melodic verse.
