We liked the sound of Shelly Bhushan even before we heard her sing. In response to our, “Go on! Pitch to us!” request, she mailed TONY to tell us exactly why she and her band should come in and play a song…
“I’m a real singer and my band is legit and we rock live. If you can get past the fact that my pants aren’t that tight and that I refuse to wear glasses with fake lenses I think you’ll like us. In fact, I think you’ll love us. We’re soulful, but not in that sort of cheesy way. My keyboardist is infatuated with Genesis, my drummer plays like Bonham, and my bassist used to play with James Brown.”
And then, of course, we heard her sing. And whooaaa!!! Is that a voice. So, folks, check out Shelly and her fine band, who stopped by the TONY office to perform “Beautiful Me” in support of their show at Drom on Monday—complete with laminated visuals and a percussive egg. Nice work.
As ever, if you’d like to play Perfect Pitch—or if you have any suggestions about who should—please let us know via the comments.
First I loved the song.Ms Bhushan has a nice voice.and her band play behind her and make it look so effortless. I hope they do well because alot of singers and bands less talented are making albums, touring,appearing on tv shows and travelling internationally to perform and they shouldn’t be.I wish them well.
