"They've got this cool mix of rock and roots, with a bit of blues, jazz, and folk thrown in for good measure. It's a blend that's both refreshing and distinct, something you don't come across every day."

- Scott Slusar of "Folk N Rock Blog"

Shelly Phelps and The Storm

A SIX-PIECE RETRO SOUL, ROOTS-ROCK BAND FROM OKLAHOMA CITY

With powerful, soulful vocals, Shelly Phelps is backed by a group of dynamic musicians with eclectic influences. Their sound has been described as "a potent dose of redemptive retro soul-influenced roots rock".

Shelly pens darkly cinematic songs that her band brings to life with its fluency in a bevy of American musical traditions, including soul, R&B, funk, blues, jazz rockabilly, and rock n’ roll. The Storm formed in 2019, and it is a wrecking crew of a band, featuring Shelly on lead vocals, Cory Moon lead guitar, Joey Albin bass guitar, her husband, Jeff Holmes drums, Adam Ray keys and saxophone, and James Metcalfe percussion.
