Shelby Taylor blends folk music with comedy to weave musical stories. Coming to us from northern Colorado by way of Florida, Shelby released her debut EP "Taylored World" in 2020 after dropping a string of catchy singles. Many of her songs have a theatrical quality to their storytelling, and she has built a massive following on TikTok with over 183 thousand followers. In late 2021, Shelby signed her first recording contract with So Fierce Music, a label founded as a haven for those marginalized and disadvantaged by the mainstream music industry because of their age, race, gender or sexual identity.

You can also currently catch Shelby guest starring as Sarah Waterston on Loudspeaker's The Weird audio drama. At only 30 years old, the sky's the limit for Shelby, so make sure to follow her online and enjoy this exclusive performance from Loudspeaker's Hallowstream benefit concert.

Set List:

1. Hey Girl (The Pyramid Scheme Song)
2. FAIRy Tales
3. S U P E R D U P E R

Sarah Christine isn't your typical singer/songwriter. Hailing from the ski Mecca of Aspen by way of Minnesota, she moved to Colorado to be closer to the outdoors, and the outdoors have responded in kind, providing inspiration for songs like "Aspen", which you'll hear on this episode.

As you'll soon hear, Sarah is a wonderful songwriter and even cooler human being, and we're proud to select her as our featured Colorado artist for February 2021. Stay tuned to Loudspeaker for an interview with Sarah coming out later this month, and don't forget to follow us on social media - we're @heyloudspeaker, so you can be the first to know when that drops. For now, please enjoy our live session with Sarah Christine, recorded live here at the Loudspeaker studios.
