Napa Valley raised, California-native Shelby Darrall today released her debut EP, Entertainment For The Brokenhearted. Produced by industry veteran Ron Fair (Christina Aguilera, Vanessa Carlton), the project features six-songs all co-written by Darrall, including the breakout hit “Love Me When I’m Leavin’” and fan-favorite track, “Lied To Too.” Featured by American Songwriter, People, Country Now, Music Row, and more, Darrall is “known for her artful lyrics and rich vocals…Darrall’s songwriting is airtight, with vivid imagery and striking emotional depth” (American Songwriter). Listen to Entertainment for the Brokenhearted here.
“I named it Entertainment for the Brokenhearted because essentially that’s exactly what it is, there’s a chapter for every emotion you might be feeling so go pick your poison,” said Darrall. “It’s really highlighting the ups and downs you have when you’re kind of blindly holding on to a relationship that you knew was never going to work but still didn’t want to let go of.”
“Shelby has a strong vision for her music,” said multi Grammy Award-winning veteran producer Ron Fair. “She brings a unique touch to her country songs – with a little bit of California breeziness, heartfelt story-telling and the emotional authority of a young Stevie Nicks.”
The songstress who “everyone should be keeping an ear tuned to what she does next” (HollywoodLife) is currently on the Bar Friends tour with one of the hottest new country bands, Restless Road. With several sold out dates across the country Darrall will be joining the band next month for sold-out dates in Boston, New York, Pittsburgh and Washington, DC.
