Transmissions :: Joan Shelley (2025)

Welcome to Transmissions. This week, singer/songwriter Joan Shelley. Her haunted folk songs and crystal clear voice have long made her a favorite of the Aquarium Drunkard crew. Writing about her last one, 2022’s The Spur, Tyler Wilcox wrote: "At this point in her career, we would probably settle for a ‘pretty good’ album from Joan Shelley…But no, [she] continues an unbroken streak of masterpieces." Her latest is called Real Warmth, and it offers precisely what the title states. She joins us to discuss . . .
