Les Shelleys

Reclaiming the simplicity and purity of voice and acoustic guitar for the 21st century, Les Shelleys are singer/songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:2N8B0dQLfpwOtput9mRlko">Tom Brosseau</a> and singer/songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:6kdk5JCcfYqNIcBNUTGYIu">Angela Correa</a>. <a href="spotify:artist:2N8B0dQLfpwOtput9mRlko">Brosseau</a> pursued a similar musical path in his solo career, releasing albums of spare folk on the British label FatCat, while <a href="spotify:artist:6kdk5JCcfYqNIcBNUTGYIu">Correa</a> also performed in the indie pop project Correatown. The pair met when filmmaker/songwriter <a href="spotify:artist:49WuzNZQg5glpAZ4NLepku">Gregory Page</a> introduced them in 2002, and they began playing renditions of songs by <a href="spotify:artist:3Ovf2lytXSXWFM2cwsJACC">Leadbelly</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4rAgFKtlTr66ic18YZZyF1">Woody Guthrie</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2dXf5lu5iilcaTQJZodce7">Sister Tharpe</a>, and other folk greats soon after. After years of collaboration that included a <a href="spotify:artist:2N8B0dQLfpwOtput9mRlko">Tom Brosseau</a>/Correatown/Les Shelleys tour in the U.K., the duo released its self-titled debut album in 2010. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
