Shelby Lynne | Infinity Hall on Saturday, April 16
(From Infinity website) Shelby Lynne was destined to be a singer. Born a singer. She was raised
in rural Alabama by musical parents who stressed individuality and the
importance of standing apart from others. A terrible student, but avid
reader, she loved the written lyric and a beautiful melody. Around the
house she was surrounded by country music from the past, Hank Williams,
Dottie West, Waylon Jennings, as well as old 45's that belonged to her
parents stacked high with most all Everly Brothers, Beatles, Elvis. It
was the old pop music that really turned her soul on. The harmonies that
came so naturally to her from such an early age stemmed from her
mother, a naturally gifted singer, who guided the diamond in the rough
talent on rides to school on freezing Alabama mornings with her younger
sister Allison. They sang three part harmonies to pass the time, which
brought the threesome so close in life, and in music. The Mills
Brothers, Ink Spots, Kay Starr, Everly's and anything that needed a
harmony – this was the car in which to find it.
