| Shelly Bush is a native of Missouri and spent her childhood singing in church and school music competitions. She credits her love of music to her parents who have spent many years driving her over 400,000 miles around the country to singing engagements.
While in high school Shelly won a guitar in a drawing from a local music store so she learned a few chords and started writing songs. In 1998 she graduated from college with a degree in Criminal Justice and immediately moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.
Since then Shelly has performed at many televised Nascar races and has been touring around the country playing at mostly fairs, casinos, and nightclubs. She has been the opening act for such artists as Sarah Evans, Dwight Yoakam, Blake Shelton, Lonestar, Trace Adkins, and has been the opening act for Michael Peterson throughout the previous year. Following the footsteps of her idols like Reba and Alabama, she has been doing regular weekly gigs at such infamous Nashville clubs as Legends, The Second Fiddle, and The Stage.
Shelly takes pride in being able to collaborate with some of Nashville's most respected industry execs including Dick Frank who is a very well-known music attorney in Nashville as well as legendary producer Barry Backett. More recently, Shelly has teamed up with well-known producer Clyde Brooks. One of the tracks they cut, "Keep Messing With Me" has been played on 38 radio stations throughout her home state of Missouri. This project has recently led to record label interest. Shelly has also been offered her first publishing deal and is continuing to pursue her ultimate goal of obtaining a major recording contract.
