Please join us in welcoming Shelley Segal to chat with Heart of Indie Radio Co-Host Emme Lentino - a podcast by Hands of Grace-Rae of Light

Segal's work is rooted in organic sounds and instrumentation. Her nylon acoustic helms both the fingerpicking of her gentle, folkier offerings and the force of her rockier surges. Raised in her father's Klezmer (traditional Jewish folk) band she incorporates many of those early influential melodies, progressions, and even some Hebrew liturgy with contemporary forms. Lyric centered and often challenging societal norms Segal "reminds of Tori Amos, Kate Miller Heidke and Ani Difranco, she's not afraid to say something." (Jeff Jenkins ABC)

As a young adult questioning her tradition, themes of free-thinking and empowerment inspired her debut album. The folk-pop protest record garnered fans in the US and kicked off 8 years of non-stop touring with a performance to 30,000 on the National Mall in Washington DC. Over a hundred thousand tour miles of country radio listening has transfused its Americana tinge and the result is Segal’s latest release, the heartfelt yet assured 'HOLY.'

In between country crossing Shelley regularly creates music which supports grass-roots activists and performs for community activist groups and human rights organisations. Notable releases include the folksy/bluesy 'Little March' with legendary guitarist/songwriter Adam Levy (Norah Jones/Tracy Chapman), the aesthetics lamenting 'Sidelined,' confronting travel vignette 'Morocco' and finally a move to Los Angeles where Shelley is an in-demand songwriter. Her works have been placed in award winning films and with international artists garnering millions of views online.



In 2022 Segal is releasing singles regularly from her upcoming self produced album, ‘Prove you Wrong’
