Details:
Shelley Asbury is a songwriter from Michigan pursuing her love of Bluegrass and Gospel music. Although starting her music career later in life, she feels a definite purpose and direction of where it needs to go. In 2002, she began seriously pursuing her songwriting career by making frequent trips to Nashville to attend workshops, network, and establish relationships with industry pros on music row. At the same time, her heart was being captivated by the traditional music of Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers. She couldn''t get enough of the sound, and found herself trying to write in a style that was not Music Row friendly! Following her heart, she started writing and singing her own original Bluegrass/Gospel tunes. She then started promoting and pitching songs to publishers and artist in the International Bluegrass community. In the summer of 2005, Shelley was fortunate to have an opportunity to meet with legendary bluegrass songwriter Pete Goble. By the next summer, Pete had a big part in helping her put her first recording project together. Now, with the release of her first solo CD project, she is looking forward to what ever the next steps bring. Bluegrass makes Shelley''s unique voice feel at home. She continues to work on her fiddle, and familiarize herself with the tradition. She currently resides in the Detroit area with her husband and four children and is one of the Detroit area workshop coordinators for the Nashville Songwriters'' Association International (NSAI)https://www.tradebit.com
