Four sisters from Fort Collins, Colorado, raised in an atmosphere of creative freedom and diligent study, have honed their musical skills surgically sharp and blended their personalities and visions into a unified whole. They are a vocal group with outstanding instrumental capabilities and an instrumental group with a thrilling vocal attack. From their fetching, unpredictable songs to their whimsical, hand-made top hats, SHEL makes a profound impression, something they are doing to growing crowds and critical acclaim. Sisters Sarah, Hannah, Eva and Liza were born within five years of each other. Nestled within SHEL’s enveloping sound are wisps of folk revival, vaudeville, renaissance fairs and steam-punk aesthetic, and allusions abound to their core influences—The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Harry Nilsson and acoustic super-group Strength In Numbers—but you’ve never heard a sound like this before. They borrow liberally from their classical training, yet there’s nothing ponderous or unapproachable about them. SHEL has played public radio’s Etown, Echoes, South by Southwest, Nashville’s Music City Roots, and Lilith Fair, and they come to town with a brand-new release, "Just Crazy Enough."
