Interview with Shannon Selig
Lamitschka: Music has many new fans throughout Europe who may be hearing about you for the first time. How would you describe yourself and the music you play to someone who has never seen or heard you?
Shannon Selig: I
grew up listening to storytelling country music, the kind that taught
you good values and life lessons. I try to emulate the values that I
was raised on. Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. My
great grandmother used to say that and I feel it best describes me as
a person. My music is the direct reflection of that, positive
messages with soaring melodies and a relatable story line.
Lamitschka: How was the last year for you? What were your highlights?
Shannon Selig:
This past year has
been a roller coaster. I’ve learned a lot about myself personally
and musically and I have grown from all my experiences. Some of the
biggest highlights were moving to Nashville and now releasing this
album. Both of these events have challenged me in different ways.
I’ve learned who I am as a musician, person and a businesswoman.
They have been the hardest moments in my life, but also the greatest.
Lamitschka: What is your latest CD and how's it doing?
Shannon Selig:
“Perfectly
Imperfect” is due out April 16th.
I am so honored to have a chance to show myself as an artist on this
incredible 11-song release. I wrote half of the songs and hand picked
the others from a batch of dozens. I have very high hopes for the
success of this album.
Lamitschka: How did you choose the title for the CD? Is there a story behind the name?
Shannon Selig:
“Perfectly Imperfect” is one of the title tracks on the album,
but it holds a much deeper meaning. I am extremely imperfect, but I
am perfectly imperfect and I love that about myself. I think it best
represents this whole experience and life itself. Nothing should be
perfect and everyone should be happy being exactly how they are,
perfectly imperfect.
Lamitschka: Do you write the songs yourself? If not, how do you go about finding the songs for your CD?
Shannon Selig:
I wrote or co-wrote half the songs on the album. Publishing companies
pitched the rest and I listened to tons of songs before finding and
selecting the ones that best represented me.
Lamitschka: Please tell us about the songs on your album (influences, etc).
Shannon Selig:
The songs on my album
all have one thing in common, a positive message. From talking about
being happy with who you are, to falling in love, to not settling,
every song teaches the listener something. Most importantly I hope
people learn to accept themselves and love the person God created
them to be.
Lamitschka: Your current single is being played by radio. What do you feel is special about this song that makes people want to hear it?
Shannon Selig:
Blossom in the Dust
is a very special song because of the message it holds. The story is
about a young girl who grew up in a broken home and had to be placed
with another family. However, the moral of the story is despite it
all she becomes a blossom in the dust. No matter what troubles come
our way, we can overcome them and have the ability to rise above and
blossom.
Lamitschka: What will your next single be?
Shannon Selig:
Zero to Sixty will be
the second single off the album. We hope to release it this summer
sometime in July. It is the perfect up-tempo summer release. Makes
you want to roll down the windows and enjoy the sun with that someone
special.
Lamitschka: What kind of songs do you like to record the most?
Shannon Selig:
I love recording
anything with a strong emotion. I always try to put all my heart into
every song whether it is a ballad or a fun pop tune about driving in
the car. It’s my job to make the listener connect and feel every
word. When I can do that, I love my job.
Lamitschka: You did a duet with Jeff Skorik. How did that happen to come about?
Shannon Selig:
I did a duet with Jeff Skorik. I co-wrote the song with one of my
best friends Nicky Rood and it was an extremely emotional process
because it was about a relationship that I was/am still going
through. After we completed the song, I listened back and knew that
it had to be on my album. Jeff came in and knocked it out the park.
This song tugs at the heartstrings lyrically and captivates
melodically. I knew it would help bring the album full circle.
Lamitschka: What is your favorite song among all the songs you have recorded and what's the story behind it?
Shannon Selig:
I don’t know that I
can choose just one. They are all so different. Blossom in the Dust
was the first song I fell in love with when I heard the demo. I
couldn’t help but smile when it came on. Zero to Sixty is one of
those songs that make me dance around the kitchen (terribly I might
add) and sing along at the top of my lungs.
Lamitschka: How much creative control do you have over your music?
Shannon Selig:
I chose all the songs
on the record and had input on all the musicians, engineers, etc. I
think it is important to retain control and stay true to who you are.
Lamitschka: Do you have any interesting stories about how fans have been affected by your music?
Shannon Selig:
I have a few. My
music and overall image has translated well with fans. I am extremely
down to earth and an everyday girl. My songs tell stories and the
fans can relate. The cutest story is a 3-year-old girl standing in
front of the stage at my show with her mouth open, not moving a
muscle. The powers of music never cease to amaze me.
Lamitschka: Who inspires you musically and how deep do your musical roots run?
Shannon Selig:
Billy Gilman had a
huge influence on my life musically. At 11 years old he had a hit
single on country radio promoting the power of one voice to change
the world. He is a positive role model in my life from a values
standpoint and musically he has one oft he most powerful and
passionate voices I’ve ever heard.
Shannon Selig: I think music is constantly growing and adapting. Obviously the business side of things is rapidly changing but I have high hopes for the music industry. People will be forced to adapt and get creative, which can only mean good things.
Lamitschka: When you get time off, how do you like to relax?
Shannon Selig: I don’t take time off. I get a few days here or there and I usually use it to play guitar or write. When I am lucky enough to get up to Nova Scotia, Canada where my dad’s family is. I love going tot he lake, walking barefoot through the fields and just being alone in the outdoors.
Lamitschka: Many European fans travel to the United States to attend the several of the music festivals for the opportunity to see so many of their favorite artists, bands and celebrities. Will you be participating and how will the fans be able to find you?
Shannon Selig: I hope to be participating, that all depends on the fans. They can find all of the information by visiting www.facebook.com/shannonselig
Lamitschka: What message would you like to send your European fans?
Shannon Selig: I’d like to tell them to always be themselves and embrace being Perfectly Imperfect. I hope they enjoy my album and I hope to see them on a European tour soon.

has received more than six million views on YouTube. Directed by Jim
Wright, the video features guest appearances from Lady Antebellum’s

Interview of Belles & Whistles
Interview
of Belles & Whistles
Q:
Hello ladies! So you are a new duo out of the American midwest
receiving some
airplay
and general excitement on the country music scene, whatʼs going on?
A:
(Kelli) Hi Christian! We are a singer/songwriter mother/daughter duo
from Nebraska
called
Belles & Whistles. Mama, Jaymie, is formerly of the band Mulberry
Lane, who
had
a lot of airplay in Germany in the early 2,000ʼs on pop radio on MCA
Records.
Mulberry
Lane performed on Geld oder Liebe, and toured all over Germany, the
US,
Britain
and Japan supporting their song, “Harmless.” Since then, Jaymie
began writing
and
recording country songs, and eventually added me, her daughter, Iʼm
Kelli, Iʼm 15,
to
become a duo. In the last year, weʼve written and recorded an LP
with Grammy
winning
producer, Don Gehman, and our first single, “Boy Like You” is
getting airplay
around
the midwest and expanding regions. Weʼll be on tour this summer in
the US,
and
eventually, weʼd love to tour Germany. My mom says itʼs so
beautiful there.
Q:
What is your songwriting process, and how did you attract Don Gehman
to this
project?
A:
(Kelli) Our songwriting process is interesting. My mom had written
quite a few songs
for
her solo project that then became songs for our duo project. But then
we wrote
some
new ones together, to make sure that my perspective is included -
songs like “Boy
Like
You”, “18 & Free” and “Whisper My Name.” We collaborate
together really well, but
Iʼm
still learning a lot from my mom about writing. My momʼs song “Rain”
was a regional
finalist
in the Mountain Stage New Song Competition, and that is one of my
favorite
songs
on our CD.
(Jaymie)
Don Gehman, who has produced Jason Michael Carroll, Pat Green, Hootie
&
the
Blowfish, John Mellencamp - he is amazing to work with in the studio.
Don had
worked
with my sisters and me in Mulberry Lane. I sent him my new songs and
he
totally
got them. We recorded with him in late 2011, and then did another
session in
2012.
We are incredibly blessed to be working with him.
Q:
What is your live show like, who have you played with?
A:
(Jaymie) Our live show can range from Kelli and I playing acoustic
singer/songwriter
style,
to a high energy show with our 4 piece band. Weʼve opened for Jerrod
Niemann,
Gloriana,
Matt Stillwell, Ty Herndon, Jeremy McComb, Billy Dean, and others.
Weʼve
played
a lot of fairs, festivals, Chick Singer Night in Milwaukee, and weʼre
playing the
Hard
Rock Cafe in Chicago in June. Weʼve booking up our summer shows
right now -
weʼre
excited to hit the road this summer.
Q:
How does Kelli handle this with school?
A:
(Kelli) Well, Iʼm a sophomore at Westside High School here in Omaha,
and right now
Iʼm
still able to juggle everything and to go regular school. I have a
lot of support from
my
friends and teachers - my favorite moment so far was when my friends
showed up to
Red
Sky Music Festival with signs - Iʼm very blessed to have really good
friends.
Q:
How can people find Belles & Whistles on the web?
A:
(Jaymie) Our website is www.bellesandwhistlesmusic.com,
from there you can link to
our
Facebook page, Twitter (we each have our own Twitter),YouTube and
Tour page.
Our
LP is up on iTunes - the link is:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/belles-whistles/
id578428843
Q:
What is the most enjoyable thing of being part of Belles &
Whistles?
A:
(Jaymie) From my perspective, I love being able to share what I know
and love with
my
daughter. I think there is something comforting in hearing a mother
and daughter
sing
together - it feels like family. I think we connect with people on
that deeper level.
(Kelli)
I love to play live, and there are a lot of girls that identify with
me and our music. I
think
we are like the bonding of two generations, and we have fun and
harmonize and
write
about life together. We work really hard, but we have a common dream,
and I
hope
we inspire other girls, of all ages, to go for their dreams.

Coy Taylor - Better Man
Coy Taylor
Better Man
Shake
the Trailer 3:00 Better Man 4:00 I Don’t Love You Anymore 3:03
Windows
and Mirrors 3:16 5 O’clock
Angel 3:55 Topless 3:14
Whiskey
I.V. 3:08
Well, it sounds like springs are rocking which I can only imagine as being from both the mattress and the shocks bouncing in the trailer-park. So far Shake the Trailer has painted some imagery on the brain and put an ear-to-ear smile on my face. I’d better wake up from this wet dream and get back to critiquing.
Those squeaking springs lead directly into the song. Strong electric chords and a powerful voice push deep into this song. The writing meshes with the vocals to push you there. Those hard times when you barely have anything left and you just have to remember that memories came along with them. It sounds like some great advice. When you’ve hit those bad times just get out and have some great times.
Better Man is the title track that seems to transition that out of control night of moonshine swigging and trailer bouncing into the blood-stained eyed, guilt ridden hangover of the mirrored soul searching morning.
Well that didn’t take long, I guess the guilt got the better of him in I Don’t Love You Anymore. The pictures removed, the phone number changed and probably the dumped had to somehow explain it to his friends without also wiping the dignity from his eyes.
Windows and Mirrors seem to be the only things to replenish those memories and tear at the heart. This song adds the depth that everyone has felt in those situations. 5 O’clock Angel keeps that idea flowing lyrically. This song really pushes the idea, or better yet tries to remind listeners that jobs or your social lives aren’t the things or moments that should really matter.
Topless is a different kind of song. It’s fun. You can feel the sun beating with the convertible top down; those memories of yesteryear gone by. Whiskey I.V. sounds like the breakup is creating enough havoc that the electric guitar solos help pump the whisky into the veins.
I always seem to enjoy albums that tell a story, or follow a storyline. Maybe it’s just that my wife and daughter will be getting on a plane in a few hours on their journey to the other side of the world. Whatever the case, Coy Taylor seems to really pull out those feelings that come along with the package; all of those hellos and goodbyes that continuously flow through relationships. I believe any guy or girl would attest to the reality of the raw emotion drawn out by the perfect blend of Coy Taylor's deep vocals, the guitar solos, as well as the drumbeats accompanied and sometimes driven by the high hats.
