Joan Shelley follows her critically-acclaimed 2022 album The Spur with Real Warmth. Her 7th album, recorded in Toronto with producer Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station), the 13-tracks feature many guests from the city's fertile music scene (Tamara Lindenman, Doug Paisley).
Shelley has toured the world with Richard Thompson, Patty Griffin, Wilco and others. She has played Lincoln Center, Newport Folk Festival, appeared on the covers of both Acoustic Guitar Magazine and Fretboard Journal and as a guest on WTF with Marc Maron and Fresh Air.
"Joan sings her songs like she's been tracing her own melodies along the contours of the natural world for centuries. Truly remarkable." - Jeff Tweedy
"Is Joan Shelley America's most consistently exceptional songwriter? Right now, that does not seem like too much praise" - MOJO
