Shelley Short is going to be on tour for almost the entire rest of the year in support of new new album, A Cave, A Canoo, and there will be no excuse to miss her. It seems like she’ll be everywhere bringing that haunting, acoustic quietness of her’s along. Her show at Seattle’s new and super secret, ultra-awesome Healthy Times Fun Club was just that — low-volume. Alexis Gideon on a second guitar added a spacey and atmospheric slide guitar infusion. Gideon really added to the feel of the show, and everyone in the room was moved to silence. Never has such a respectful audience been seen in Seattle; everyone there had to fall in love a little.
A Cave, A Canoo is much the same in its entirety — warm, pensive songs that really showcase Short’s abilities as a singer/songwriter both with a guitar and a piano. One could worry that she’d get lost in the mire of female singer/songwriters, but Shelly Short won’t; she’s too good to ignore. Hush are doing a preorder for A Cave, A Canoo, and will be shipping signed copies at least a week before the release date on October 13th. Be sure to get yours!
