SHELLEY SEGAL ANNOUNCES SHOWS WITH
AMERICAN JAZZ GUITARIST/VOCALIST, ADAM LEVY
Melbourne singer, songwriter and international touring artist, Shelley Segal has announced she’ll be bringing notable American jazz guitarist and volcalist Adam Levy out to Australia to tour their new collaborative album, 'Little March' which was released in Australia in March, and the US last month.
Performing at some of the country's best-known jazz clubs, the duo will be hitting up Bennetts Lane (Melbourne) with full backing band for two shows on July 26 & August 6 and Blue Beat (Sydney) for a show on August 1.
A highly sought after jazz guitarist, Levy has played with some of the genre's best including Norah Jones (with whom he played and toured for more than six years), Ani Difranco, TRacy Chapman, Roseanne Cash, Lisa Loeb and more. With several of his own albums under his belt, Levy is also an educator and regular writer for Player magazine and Acoutic Guitar magazine and is the author of Jazz Guitar Sight Reading (book) and Play the Right Stuff (book and DVD).
And then there's Segal who has just returned home from an extensive three month US tour. She's been performing across the Australian and international scene for the las decase and has released two albums to date with a third due out in early 2014. Segal also recently wrote and recorded a track, Chemistry, for DJ Carl Cox, which spent two weeks at #1 on the dance charts last year.
Segal and Levy's collaboration, Litlle March
is an album brimming with soulful, expressive intelligent songs that
navigate thtough jazz, folk and blues with tender affection and great
artistry. The album was written in New York where Levy was living at the
time, recorded in Los Angeles and produced by the Grammy-winning S.
Husky Hoskulds (Fiona Apple, Tom Waits, Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones). Lead
single Stuck In The Memory
highlights Segal's impressive writing and vocal ability as she
stylishly slinks through this jazz number that will have you singing
along after just one listen. The albums's opening duet track, Glad
You Asked "Is a sweet folky song about the difference we can make
through kindness to others - 'To remind me that the winter never
lasts'," explains Shelley through quoting the song's lyrics. "It's
an honour to play with Adam. As well as being so incredibly talented,
he is the loveliest guy in the world. It is going to be a really special
tour. Hopefully we'll get to write some new songs on the road as well."
Tickets to the shows are on sale now and the album Little March is out now through True Music

Special acoustic set at 9:30
Melbourne singer songwriter and international touring artist, Shelley Segal has announced twin album and single releases, coupled with a five-date east coast Australian tour and an extensive two month US tour.
Segal will release her albums, An Atheist Album and Little March on February 22, complimented by two singles (one lifted from each album); Saved (An Atheist Album) and Stuck In The Memory (Little March), both set for media servicing on Monday, January 28.
Having been performing in the Australian and international scene for the last decade, Segal has an ever growing, dedicated following across the globe. Her single, Saved is a solid pop tune that slips in and out of reggae and has already received airplay around the world, with the clip having gathered almost 70 thousand views online.
With many music successes under her belt, Segal also recently wrote and recorded a track, Chemistry, with DJ Carl Cox. The track spent two weeks at #1 in the dance charts last year and also saw her take to the stage with Cox at the Stereosonic Festival in Melbourne last year.
Raised in a traditional Jewish family, and the daughter of the President of the East Melbourne Synagogue, Segal’s religious world-view was first challenged in a year 11 Biology class while learning about evolution. Spurred on by authors such as Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, Segal became involved in the secular movement, through which An Atheist Album was born. Segal relishes her ability to use songwriting and music to explore issues of importance to her, as seen in the opening track, Eve which explores the many oppressive religious doctrines that exist for women in certain cultures. Folk track, Gratitude describes how one can feel gratitude for one's life, even without a deity to be grateful to. The album cleverly questions a great number of dubious existing moral codes and dilemmas, all the while positively highlighting Segal’s intense love of life and fellow humans and her desire to encourage equality for all.
Conversely, Little March takes on a jazz direction and speaks more of internal musings, showing Segal’s versatility as a singer and songwriter. “I’m fortunate that I can write about all sorts of subjects and don’t feel limited by genres,” says Segal. Written in New York and recorded in Los Angeles with jazz guitarist Adam Levy (Norah Jones, Tracy Chapman, Amos Lee), Little March is a collaboration between the two which was produced by the Grammy-winning Husky (Fiona Apple, Tom Waits, Sheryl Crow, Norah Jones). Lead single Stuck In The Memory highlights Shelley’s impressive writing and vocal ability as she slips in to this sophisticated, slinky jazz number that will have you singing along after just one listen.
True Music has announced they’re sending three of their employees over to Austin Texas
this week to attend the globally recognised music festival, SXSW.
