Shelley Barratt Band

SB Band had successful and fun shows playing their brand of Indie Rock in the Phoenix, AZ area... next? Our beautiful state of New Mexico: ABQ, Santa Fe, Socorro, Las Cruces... then Denver, CO area...Contact us!

The Shelley Barratt Band writes, records, and performs music from the heart that speaks globally. Female-fronted Indie Rock with Americana, Jazz, Celtic and other international influences, the inspired tunes are melodic and poetic, unconventional, yet middle-of-the-road accessible. Through Jimmy's driving rhythms and Bob's sophisticated guitar work, Shelley’s voice has a soothing effect as she offers intimacy and insight.

Be sure to order one of last original Origin of Flight CD's while you can - July 1, 2009

In these tough economic times, we all can use some goodness… some healing, and something to give voice to that which is inside us all.

I think that may be why I have saved my last 300 original CD's of my album, Origin of Flight,* until now.

Now is the time. For about the same amount as 2 Starbucks drinks, you can purchase one of the last remaining original Shelley Barratt Origin of Flight CD’s. And, when you play the album in your home, car, or work, you’ll be taken on an inner journey- if only for a song’s time. The relaxed state will filter through, and maybe motivate you to stay the course or make that change; remind you that this too, shall pass.

You’ll also be contributing to a work of art that someone put lots of love and time into, so that there may be room for the next work of art and all that goes with it.

There is much to be done in order for me to complete this next chapter, and I’m so excited to share it with you both during the process and once it is done. Therefore, in order to continue, I've set a goal:

*My goal is to sell 300 CD’s by the end of summer… get us through these Dog Days. Time to get yourself a fresh CD if you haven’t already, or purchase a couple for friends in need. I know we can make this goal, but I need your help.

There are 2 ways to do this where the orders will come directly to me, and I’ll mail/give CD directly to you (I’ll handle any postage):

1. Mail (or give in-person) $10 check (made out to Shelley Barratt) or money order to P.O. Box 13432, Albuquerque, NM 87192 or
2. PayPal $10 via credit card or debit card, you can go to: http://www.shelleybarratt.com/products.html and click on the 1st album cover pic

[Note: don’t forget to give me your mailing address where to send the CD... unless I hand to you you in-person, even better!]

Simple, really. And you’ll know you received the authentic original run of Origin of Flight. IF I do a future reprint, they will be slightly different. In fact, there are 2 places where you’ll find an amusing print mistake. I will send an additional CD for FREE to the first person that finds this mistake (and didn’t know about it already).

Thank you again for your listening, patience, and ongoing support. Now, let’s get this show on the road… order your original Origin of Flight CD today!

Sincerely,
Shelley

p.s. Band update next month. Though, there are a few acoustic shows this week and next: www.shelleybarratt.com/calendar.html for details.

Her laughter sends us into the abyss of abundance
September night alone, alone with billions of stars
And a gentle swell on the Sea of Cortez
And all is well...

Ballast a Ship - June 15, 2009

I don’t know (oh-way-oh)

3 ships on the Northern Sea I sailed with you I sailed with you
We thought we’d lost one in the night
Red sky was the morning Dark sky was bright dark sky was bright
Our world seemed turned upside-down

I don’t know (oh-way-oh)
How to ballast a ship
Ay Cap’n away we go
Don’t let me rush in

Painting neon in your sky
Merchants calling us ashore
Pacing seagulls to your right
They take what you give them disappear into the night

We tripped an icebreaker could feel volcanoes rumble underneath
We stayed the course as best we could
One route had pirates and another sickness round the bend
The way you pointed us was right

Into the heart of pain we floated through numbness
Until it too subsided and consciousness came
Nothing left to chance we were the corsairs of our time
Painting neon in your sky
Merchants calling us ashore

I don’t know (oh-way-oh)
How to ballast a ship
Ay Cap’n away we go
Don’t let me rush in

Standing - May 7, 2009

Standing...
I can’t stand
To let myself lose
And yet I stand so well
Standing tall
But standing small
Standing till I can’t stand
Anything at all

Losing fear and
Losing doubt
I’m losing everything
Inside and out

But I can’t lose my stand
‘Cause I know where I stand
I stand still
Still I lose

And I can’t stand
To let myself lose
And yet I stand so well
I was standing small
Now I’m standing tall
And I’m standing till I can stand
Everything
Everything and all

HOW CAN I LOSE
IF IT’S EVERYTHING I AM
HOW CAN I BEGIN
IF IT’S TRUE I NEVER END

HOW CAN I LOSE
IF IT’S EVERYTHING I AM

HOW CAN I
I WIN
