Shelly Hughes – Where The Owl Was
The third album from Shelly Hughes sees the Byron Bay girl take a slightly different direction from her previous releases. Where before her sound was of a more jazz/folk persuasion, Where The Owl Was sees the singer delve into soul music, with fantastic, emotive and at times spine tingling results!
