Stan Sheley

Stan Sheley grew up in Georgia, attended college in Alabama and Louisiana, and then wound up teaching college in the Atlanta area starting in the mid 90s. A guitar player off and on most of his life, Sheley says that in 2004 he started sensing new possibilities in the music he was making, and he started playing drums, bass, and finally harmonica; he also began performing and recording.

Sheley's musical style could best be described as folk-rock, with some obvious blues, pop, and country influences. But his original songs, melodic and evocative, are essentially unique, and reflect the sureness of someone who believes he's in the right place at the right time.
