Shellie Morris is an indigenous Darwin based singer/songwriter who has been performing her songs throughout Australia for the past couple of years. She has scored the odd Deadlies nomination for her  songwriting and singing  abilities.

Shellie Morris describes herself as an Australian Indigenous Singer/Songwriter performing and recording earthy and honest acoustic songs with contemporary instrumentation . Others have been moved to grander descriptions. The Australian newspapers Nicholas Rothwell, for example, described her as the Janis Joplin of Jingili, an Aboriginal chanteuse of rare seriousness and grace. Territorians diva and intriguing and passionate are just some of the plaudits Shellie has been collecting in the emergent years of her musical career.

Have a listen to “All Alone” it’s a real gem and if you are in Melbourne on the 17th Oct 2008 you will find her playing at the Spiegel Tent as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival.
