Shelley Lynch Bio - Mary Giuliano from The Free Press

Shelley Lynch may be from a small Canadian town but there is nothing small about the talent this singer-songwriter has been blessed with. When the album “Walk through Life” came out in 1996 Shelley was described as having a clear voice and upbeat style. The style continued in the next album “Dream Big,” a collection of songs she wrote and performed that exploded with lyrics as honest and as personal as life can get.

Shelley poured heart and soul into this album ‘Dream Big’ (2007 release) building a profound connection to a growth process that began in childhood and continues on to the present, always “dreaming big” throughout life, striving to make her musical vision a reality.

“Young and foolish, I’ve been through it all”, she croons on the title tune. In another she says “Life can get you down, but you can still smile. If you look back what you see may just hurt you, plowin and cryin, I’ll give you a plowin and cryin song”.

Shelley, an attractive blonde, was born in Fernie, British Columbia, fifth of six children of longtime residents Frank and Mary Lynch.

They were a business-orientated family with a deep faith and a strong love of music that led to dedicating part of their living room to drums, guitar and organ giving the family ample opportunity to sing and entertain together.

By age ten Shelley was playing guitar with older sister Kim. At 12 she wrote her first song titled “Spring.” In a high school competition that included teacher contestants she performed an original song that got her the top prize. This win served as the impetus to bolster her confidence to perform publicly.

Shelley loves to write, sometimes spontaneously producing a song in minutes. Songs for her first album picked for distribution by RDR Music in Toronto realized a modicum of success at home but real triumph came when the album reached number one on the charts in Denmark, Holland, Sweden and other European countries.

Incredibly January 1998 saw her song “Walk Through Life” at number four on the charts in Holland while Shania Twain’s tune “Man, I feel like a Woman”, was number ten.

News that three of Shelley’s songs were in the top six of charts in Denmark and Holland spilled exciting ideas and thoughts in her mind that had her head spinning for days.

One dream realized was attending the Canadian Country Music Awards held in Calgary where she met famous stars. Another was performing live on Cable TV and on the Nashville North stage during Stampede Week in Calgary, getting great reviews by the local press. In 2009 she attended the CRS (Country Radio Seminar) in Nashville, meeting radio personal and several major artists; Toby Keith, Chrystal Shawanda, Pam Tillis just to name a few.

People celebrated her success and predicted a bright future. However without a record label to market her music Shelley took the independent leap to create CDs under her own label Lynch Records. Being independent is difficult but if successful then it’s easier to attract a label. Shelley is aware that talent is only a small part of success in this business. Management, direction, image, persistent determination and a record label are the true requirements.

Les Bolen of Lizard Mountain Music in Jaffray joined Shelley to mix and engineer the selections. The two work well together and Les understands the sound Shelley wants to achieve with her music.
