Shelly Phelps and The Storm return to The Blue Door to share their songs from the new album, Singing The Bones! With diverse influences like rhythm and blues, retro soul, jazz, country, and rock, Shelly focuses on reflecting the heart of the songs she writes rather than settling into a specific genre. "From soulful power ballads to foot-stomping roots-rock, Shelly brings a 'lay-down-your-burdens' experience with her rich, contralto vocals, and the dark, warm threads of connection.""The whole album has a theme of 'rising from the ashes', reclaiming your place in the world, and setting things upright.", explains Phelps. "It's moody and raw and there's a defiant swagger to the whole album, but with an air of positivity to some darker subject matter." Phelps also includes songs of love, desire, and joy. "I would be remiss if I didn't express the full gamut of the transformative experience.", she said.
For Phelps, one of her greatest pleasures of writing, recording, and performing is connecting through music that expresses shared truth. "I don't necessarily want to make people forget about their troubles.", said Phelps. "I want them to know they aren't alone. That we are all on this planet together, in this room, in this moment... together."
