"...the complete performer in her use of cranked up emotions in her singing, edgy rock energy and swinging jazz guitar rhythms." Labeled "a
future legend" by one reviewer and a "guitar goddess"
by another, Shelley Doty is considered one the best independent performers
in the business. Watching
her perform is awe-inspiring due to her masterful guitar licks, soulful
voice and charismatic stage presence. As a songwriter, she creates articulate
songs for today by sprinkling them with respect for the music of her
youth (rock, R&B, jazz, funk). Shelley sings with passion and plays
with an authentic raw energy that cuts through the air with jubilant
imagination and freshness. Her brand new CD "Over The Line"
is now out and available via CD Baby. In addition
to fronting her band, the Shelley Doty X-tet, Shelley also often performs
solo acoustic. When Shelley plays electric guitar she rips into it like
no other woman ever has - she has a swagger and confidence to play lead
guitar that is as rare as it is electrifying. But she also has the subtly
and tenderness to cause an audience to shiver at the elegance of her
voice and insightful lyrics. Don't be fooled though - she can bring
the same intensity she's known for when playing electric to an acoustic
setting. Shelley
was featured in the March 2008 issue of the renowned Guitar Player Magazine. For the past several
years, Shelley has also concentrated on expanding her skill set behind
the magic curtain. Driven by her soundtrack work, she has focused some
of her creative energy toward Music Production in her own home studio.
Using her main tools Propellerheads Reason and Digidesign ProTools,
as well as her extensive virtural rolodex of world class musicians,
Shelley generates exciting and unique sound for picture. In addition
to performing and recording her own material, Shelley is a versatile
lead guitarist. She has
played with and recorded CDs for the avant-punk-classical Bonfire Madigan
(Kill Rock Stars), Kindness (rocktronica), Yo Miles!, Composer and Vocalist
extraordinaire Pyeng Threadgill, and San Francisco Rock favorites Dolorata.
Shelley can also be heard on CDs by Rosin Coven, Melissa Crabtree, the
Redwood Project, Judea Eden, Green Huse, and Gwen Avery. Her songs have
made it onto several compilations, including "Calling All Kings
and Queens" (with Amy Ray and Sleater Kinny), "wildFire",
"SF2000 Timecapsule" and "Wine, Women and Song". Shelley
is also the co-creator, musical director and script-writer for a teen
and adult animated project called Strange Frame (www.strangeframe.com). And she is honored to have a song
featured in the movie, "Healing Sex", based on the acclaimed psychological
text by Staci Haines "The Survivors Guide to Sex --How to Have an Empowered
Sex Life After Child Sexual Abuse".
