Doors 7:30pm - 1 0:30pm.\n\nAnnouncing new album REAL WARMTH\, coming September 19th\, 2025 . Joan Shelley has long factored place into her recordings. For her self-t itled album (2017) she landed in Chicago\, at The Loft with Jeff Tweedy pr oducing. In 2019 she went to Iceland\, bringing along collaborators Nathan Salsburg and James Elkington to make Like The River Loves The Sea. The pa ndemic kept her close to home in Kentucky for The Spur (2022)\, but as a n ew batch of songs began to take shape in late 2024—and as Shelley and he r family began settling into their new home in Michigan—she began search ing for a place where she could record in the company of talented friends. Joan\, with husband Nathan Salsburg and their 4-year-old\, traveled to sn owy Toronto\, ON in the winter of 2025 to make a record with Ben Whiteley\ , friend and bassist for The Weather Station. Ben tapped his rich communit y musicians for the session\, including drummer Philippe Melanson\, saxoph onist Karen Ng\, singer/songwriters Doug Paisley and Tamara Lindeman\, Mat t Kelley\, and Ken Whiteley. Joan’s partner\, guitarist Nathan Salsburg\ , also appears. Toronto artist Heather Goodchild designed and painted the cover and inner sleeve.\nReal Warmth is the follow-up to Shelley’s accla imed 2022 album The Spur\, a record praised by The New York Times\, Pitchf ork and The Guardian. It was deemed the #2 album of that year by Uncut Mag azine and prompted MOJO to ask:” “Is Joan Shelley America’s most con sistently exceptional songwriter? Right now\, that does not seem like too much praise”.”\nShelley has toured and performed with the likes of Ric hard Thompson\, Wilco\, Patty Griffin\, Michael Hurley and Bonnie “Princ e” Billy. She has been featured on the covers of Fretboard Journal and A coustic Guitar Magazine\, and has appeared as a guest on WTF with Marc Mar on\, Fresh Air with Terry Gross\, and Later… with Jools Holland\n\n[embe dyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz9tZIV6ckY[/embedyt] ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.lewesconclub.com/wp-content/uploads/ 2025/11/JShelley2026LR.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251026T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
