/ MARK SHELLEY /
Groove….Roots…..Blues… Folk… Country…. Soul…. Good Vibe…..
……..A true interpreter of songs….
Smooth, soulful vocals, stylish guitar playing & laidback humour are the trademarks of Mark Shelley’s performance. His eclectic mix of tunes is compiled from a lifetime catalogue of performing & listening. Influenced by Roots, Blues, Folk, Groove, Country, Rock & Jazz…….all delivered with a relaxed acoustic vibe.
The songs, like Mark, are often ‘Classics’…….yep, I’ve been around for a while, & that is a grand thing!
Mark Shelley, an Australian Singer, Musician, and songwriter, first picked up a guitar at age 13. It was a dreadful old instrument with action as high as the sky. But this didn’t deter him; all he wanted to do was play music. And that is what he has been doing for a lifetime, touring Australia & parts of the world, headlining festivals, featuring on Cruise Ships, TV, radio jingles, & extensive venue & corporate performances.
Mark’s songs & stories draw from that life experience. There is no teacher-like time, making him equally at home in an intimate performance setting or on the large stage, creating an ‘old friends’ vibe on any occasion.
Mark says - “at my shows, I aim to provide respite from the normal flows of life…… where my audience is transported to another time, perhaps feel what they haven’t for a while, shed a tear, laugh from the belly……a time for us to meet new friends. Great songs can do that & I don’t mind who wrote them. These days it can sometimes be portrayed as being a bit ‘uncool’ to play other people’s songs….but a great song is a great one! And certain songs mark significant points in our lives…love, laughter, loss, protest, sadness, joy……& to me, that is very cool! I also love writing, so when it suits our ‘conversation’ I also share a couple of those.”
