Powerful blues rock guitar. Soulful testifying vocals. Heartfelt original songwriting.
Passionate percussion with a hard grooving band. These elements make up the music of David
Shelley. Fusing traditional forms with unique cultural experiences, David Shelley is a roots
rocker with a worldbeat edge, a bluesman for the planet Earth.
He played percussion with jazz fusion artist Randy Bernsen and was guitarist, singer and songwriter with reggae band T'shan..
T'shan was wildly popular in local clubs and David took the sound even further with his
own band, opening for everyone from The Clash and The Kinks to reggae star Dennis Brown,
rocking the house with an ecclectic mix of worldbeat and blues roots.
When some of his recordings were chosen for a movie soundtrack,
Shelley was cast to play a rock musician in Roger Vadim's remake of "And God Created
Women" starring Rebecca DeMornay. This bit of work lead to a role in music videos for
Cher's "Heart Of Stone" album, including the famous aircraft carrier scene of "If I Could Turn
Back Time." The pop diva was no stranger to blues rock talent and drafted the guitarist to
play in her touring band. Thus David performed at the 1989 American Music Awards and
the 1990 and 1991 MTV Music Awards, toured the US, Canada, Australia, Ireland and the UK,
and was seen by millions on cable channels like VH1. His music has been played on the CBS
soap "The Guiding Light", ABC soap "General Hospital", "Touched By An Angel", and "Promised
Land".
Soon after he found himself as series regular and guitarist for "The Ron Reagan
Show"on Fox. He then moved to the desert in an effort to reconnect with his musical roots.
Roaming the West, he hooked up with some Native American musicians in Santa Fe. Featuring
members of the Apache and Zuni tribes, The Mud Ponies (sometimes called Seventh Son)
played hard rocking Indian-flavored blues throughout the Southwest. David also had a LA
based band called Blues Farm where renown blues star Coco Montoya frequently played with
the band encouraging David to pursue his dreams of being a blues artist. He is often invited
to play with Allman Brothers guitarist Warren Haynes' band Gov't Mule and has shared the
stage with blues legends Anson Funderburg, Billy Branch, and many more. David performs
annually at the Fort Lauderdale Blues Festival, one of the largest such events in the country.
David has worked in the Native American community for many years performing on
the bill with John Trudell, Floyd Redcrow Westerman, and the late Jessie Ed Davis. He co-wrote
and co-produced for Native American vocalists Paula Bowers and Grammy Award winner Star
Nayea. He also performs in Native American singer/songwriter and Seminole Tribal Chairman
Chief Jim Billie's backup band.
David Shelley has been to a crossroads called Earth, where glitz and grime meet on
the boulevard between swamp and desert, creating jamming blues rock music that is ancient
and modern and truly original.
