Shelley Short + Ivy Ross (USA) — Live at The Nook Cooroy

Saturday 28 November | 6:30pm | BYO | Ages 13+

Two distinctive American songwriters come together for a special international double bill, blending atmospheric alt-country, folk-rock and captivating storytelling.

Shelley Short

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, alt-country chanteuse Shelley Short creates atmospheric, deeply expressive music shaped by vintage country, honky-tonk and postmodern roots.

Shelley began writing and performing original songs in Portland before becoming a fixture of the city’s live music scene. Her acclaimed catalogue includes Oh Say Little Dogies Why? and Captain Wild Horse (Rides the Heart of Tomorrow)—records that established her singular approach to Americana and roots music.

With a voice and songwriting style that feel both timeless and entirely her own, Shelley brings an intimate performance steeped in honesty, character and old-world charm.

Ivy Ross

Ivy Ross is a songwriter and recording artist crafting a whimsical blend of inspiring folk-rock. Known for her eccentric storytelling, playful acoustic rhythms and surprising harmonies, she finds beauty, heart and humour in life’s unexpected detours.

Her forthcoming seventh full-length album, The Roadrunner at the End of the Road, is a truly international collaboration featuring musicians and bandmates from around the world. Its songs move effortlessly between deep introspection, two-stepping energy and pure joy.

Together, Shelley Short and Ivy Ross promise an intimate evening of imaginative songwriting, unexpected stories and distinctly American folk and roots music.
