Firefly is a band formed by San Diego area vocalist, Shelli Frances. As a young musician in Central California, Shelli's influences were mostly rock, pop, & country. Over the years she expanded her musical tastes and vocal range and ventured into R & B, some jazz & blues, disco & dance music and cultivated a reputation of being one of the most versatile female vocalists, both onstage and in the recording studio, in the San Diego area and beyond, performing nationally and internationally. Shelli has recorded in various California studios, in Nashville at Curb Studios, and has performed in most of the major area hotels and casino show rooms, convention venues and nightclubs with many S.D. area variety/dance bands for corporate events, private parties, nightclubs and the like.

"Firefly put on a performance that was absolutely flawless from beginning to end with great musicians, great vocals and great energy! They really know how to put on a great show!"
-The Corvelles
…I LOVE FIREFLY!!! The group dynamics are AMAZING, you can easily see that they all love what they are doing and enjoy doing it together. Each member’s personality shines on its own and draws you in, while at the same time each one fits together to create this amazing energy. Firefly keeps it real and makes you feel like you are part of the show, and you are always left wanting another encore. Firefly, to me, has everything you could ask for in a band; energy, killer vocals, creative arrangements, entertainment beyond belief... and so much more! I've seen them numerous times (so many, I've lost count) and they have me coming back for more, time and time again. If you haven't seen Firefly yet... you are missing out!!!!
