Shelly Phelps and The Storm at The Blue Door (with special guest, Caleb McGee) Over the course of her career as a performing singer and songwriter, Shelly Phelps has brought a primal authenticity to her story-telling as she carves truth from the human condition. With themes of desire, rebellion, love, grief, rebirth, and transformation, her lyrics are translated with vocals that range from deep and soulful to powerful, gutsy bravado.
