A distinctive songwriter, Shelby Lamb is a musician living in Toronto. Her music has been described as folk,
alternative country, and psychedelic, among others. Her voice may remind you of a folk singer from
the 70’s without sounding like anyone in particular .
In 2006, Shelby released her debut album, Suburban Cowboy. The acclaimed EP received continuous play
on CBC, campus and community radio nationwide hitting the top ten on the !earshot charts.
Like the EP, Shelby’s new release, Tudro, features an eclectic instrumentation. Layered with vocal harmony,
trumpet, glockenspiel, slide guitar and con organ, the 12 tracks were recorded in Toronto at Ivy Laine
Studio. Using practically all vintage gear and sticking with natural tones, this album sounds as timeless as
apple pie. From the psychedelic backward guitar on “Roam” to the tongue and cheek lyrics on “I Can’t Be
Normal”, Tudro is infused with texture and honest emotion.
In collaboration with some of Toronto’s finest musicians, the release features Jesse Laine,
(also producer/engineer ), Ryan Gassi of Memory Bank, David Paoli, Ian McGillivray, Megan Hamilton
and Andrew Barker of Bruce Peninsula. Experimenting with a multitude of layers to an odd metre or
stripped down to an acoustic guitar and a foot tap, Tudro is “wicked as hell” - Dennis Ellsworth
