ABOUT SHEL
Born and raised Colorado, the four sisters were named #1 band to watch by Colorado's own ALIVE Magazine. SHEL have amassed a loyal fan base due to a defiantly DIY approach marked by constant touring and genre-twisting music. Raised on an abandoned trailer park that the family restored and turned into a farm, they had an unconventional and imaginative upbringing in the foothills of Fort Collins. Each found an instrument to master early on, studying classical music while composing and arranging with
Sarah on violin, Hannon on piano, Eva on mandolin, and Liza on drums, djembe and beatboxing. Using their first initals, the band created an acronym - SHEL. The band released their self-titled debut to great acclaim, and were embraced by MTV, USA Today, American Songwriter and many more. For more information, visit www.shelmusic.com
