Shelley Allen
Cape Breton

Shelley Allen

Shelley Allen is a familiar face in the Cape Breton music scene. Combining vocals with guitar and percussion, she plays a mix of styles including rhythmic roots music, jazz, bluesy soul, classic country, and Celtic. She is an accredited music therapist who designs and implements health and wellness programs for populations including variously abled, substance users, and those with mental health issues. Shelley’s passion is entertaining, educating, and encouraging others to discover their own musicality. She will take the stage this year at Celtic Colours as we revisit the fabled Tarbot Music Festival that ran for three years in the late 1970s.
