notes

Shirley Bunnell's music is guitar-driven and introspective. While her sound draws from the influences of artists like Shawn Colvin, Sarah McLachlan and Toad the Wet Sprocket, her lyrics draw from her honesty and vulnerability. And with Shirley's rich, passionate voice delivering the material, she's drawn rave reviews: "a rare, pure talent " .. "thoughtful, challenging and engaging" .."inspired (and inspiring) lyrics" .. "a top notch songwriter" .. "a great voice singing honest-to-God melodies."

Shirley's music has been acclaimed by critics and has caught the attention of industry executives. Her work can be heard on the albums of Kathie Lee Gifford, Jim Brickman and Maranatha Music.

As a performer, Shirley has shared her original music in amphitheaters, coffeehouses, churches and clubs from coast to coast. A native Californian now living in Connecticut, she's performed all over the country, sometimes backed by a full band, other times as part of a trio or simply accompanying herself on the guitar. The gifted musicians in her current band recreate the full sound of her CDs, with rich guitar work and lush harmonies.

As a recording artist, Shirley has a major label release, two solo albums, credits as lead and background vocalist on several other artists' albums and has a host of radio and TV jingles on
her resume.

  • Intimate portrait of Growing through difficulties
    author: Sharon Griswold

    I can't even begin to express how this CD has touched not only me but my husband as well.The song Release has challenged us in our releasing our hold on things and people in our lives to Trust our Lord to do what he needs to do in us in order to mold us like Jesus. Then there's Ruby Shoes. It is funky and the muscians and vocals are right on, great ensemble. Thank you Jesus for music. Sharon Griswold

  • Calm but strong

    I came accross Release mostly by chance. I decided to buy it and wao, was that a good decision. Shirley Bunnell has a great voice. Gentle but with enough strengh to go along with some inspired (and inspiring) lyrics. January is my favorite right now, but the album is solid all the way through.

  • A rare, pure talent, absolutely wonderful

    I cannot stop listening to this CD! This artist is truly gifted. The songs are deeply touching and impossible to forget. Actually brought me to tears. I highly recommend!

  • This is a wonderful, heartfelt CD.
    author: Bob Sirois

    I have been working professionally in the music industry for several years and rarely do I come across an artist of Shirley's caliber. Shirley has a pleasant, soothing voice that dominates each composition. Her vocals are very well executed with lyrics that are compelling and thought provoking. She is a top notch songwriter(a rarity in this business) with a natural ability to effectively blend melody and music to produce solid hooks without losing originality. I highly recommend Shirley's CD "Release" as I feel it to be a refreshing step above the norm. Simply put, it's a phenomenal CD. Bob Sirois - Aspen Music Productions

    This is a very good CD. I enjoy listening to it in the car on my way to school or work or anywhere. It's calm and comforting...something to listen to and escape from reality. It is relaxing to hear a beautiful voice.

    A great voice singing honest-to-God melodies. Truthful in her introspective lyrics focusing on a personal relationship that can be related to by just about anyone.
