May 28: Andy Shelton at Acoustic Long Island
Andy Shelton flew into New York just to play for Acoustic Long Island, and boy, his arms are tired (his joke, not ours, I swear). He’s yet another amazing artist we’ve had from Utah (the others are Stephanie Smith and Deborah Fotheringham) — arriving here with a guitar case full of stories and a voice that is simply perfect.
Shelton’s percussive acoustic jazz/folk style is well complimented by his “Unique, strong voice” (Taxi.com) and award winning story-like lyrics (lyricawards.com). This 2007 Best of State Nominee has also received an honorable mention in the 12th annual Billboard Songwriting Contest, 1st place awards on www.LyricAwards.com and www.comp10.com, and recent Honor Award in the 7th Annual Great American Song Contest. As a solo artist, Andy has made concert appearances on Fox 13`s Good Day Utah, “B all over with Michael B” on KJAZZ 14, channel 4`s Good Things Utah where he placed 2nd in the `Utah`s Next` competition, and The NuSkin World of Ice venue at the 2002 Winter Olympics. His music has been featured on the television programs “Not on the First Date”and “Mountain Views”. This last Feburary, his current project entitled “Up On Market Street” was release to rave reviews from the local press. Event News Weekly calls his music “…Possibly the best written in the state.” And Mike Rosskelly of Rosskelly Sound says “It’s the best CD I’ve heard all year” For more go to www.andyshelton.com.

Welcome to the #1 Acoustic Podcast on iTunes - brought to you by 
I’ve heard Andy play on the Acoustic Tuesdays podcast (too bad they never update it anymore) and really liked his “8th Ave.” song. Thanks for inviting him to your show. If ever I do fly out to the east coast . . . I’ll be sure to drop in for a show or two.
