SXSW 2010: Shelley Short


Part two of the Spinner.com contribution bonanza. I'm literally cranking out (efficiently, of course) artists Q&a/biographies for Spinner's SXSW project, in which the website will profile all 2,000 bands/artists performing at this year's Austin fest. In the next week, I'll be working on ten profiles. It's not a matter of doing them, but hoping that my emails get responded by my interviewees.

Portland, Ore.'s Shelley Short has been paving a way to musical success since performing her first solo act at a friend's second annual "Holiday Hot Dog Rodeo" event. The whimsical singer-songwriter's music catalog consists of four releases, and Paste Magazine raved that Short's latest, 'A Cave, A Canoo,' "sounds more at home wafting through barn rafters than through iPod earbuds." Short has opened for acts like M. Ward and Loudon Wainwright III, and this year, she'll be playing two showcases at Austin's SXSW. Before the festival, Spinner chatted with the singer about her tour experiences and inspirations.
