Somewhere along the interstates and freeways between Nashville and Detroit, David Shelby mapped out his musical direction with the final destination to arrive at country radio with a sound all his own. Capturing the salt-of-the-earth and grit of Motor City, Michigan, the rock n’ roll history the culture is known for, and melding it with Nashville’s signature musicianship and story lines, Shelby created a sound he proudly identifies as “Rust Belt Country.” He is a performer wired for sound whose talents are branded by his roots—the heart of America, built on hope and tenacity for the future.
