New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Joan
Shelley has released her first new original song in over two years. "Coming Down For You" was recorded at Greenhaus Studios in Reykjavík, Iceland, and features longtime collaborators Nathan Salsburg,
James Elkington and Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
Shelley says of the track: "[it] came to me while I was in motion and I couldn't write it down. I was thinking of the rhythm of animals, of work, and of travel; the rhythm of someone riding into chaos to bring a loved one back out again."

Shelley has also announced a run of headlining fall tour dates in the western US, including a show at the Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles, and more. See below for a full list of shows; tickets are on-sale here this Friday, June 14th, with more dates to be announced soon.
The song follows Shelley's 2017, self-titled album, produced by
Jeff Tweedy at The Loft in Chicago. That record placed on year-end lists at NPR Music, Aquarium Drunkard and Uncut Magazine, among others, and led to an appearance on Later… with Jools Holland, cover stories with Acoustic Guitar Magazine and Fretboard Journal, and more.
Shelley toured the world behind the album, supporting Richard Thompson, Wilco,
Andrew Bird and Patty Griffin, and performing at Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN, and Lincoln Center's American Songbook series in New York.
