Roots Music Rambler Backstage with Shelby Lore

Welcome to another in our Backstage episode of Roots Music Rambler. These are short interviews Frank and Falls are able to grab backstage (or just somewhere in person rather than on our virtual, longer-form interview episodes) and catch up briefly. In this case, Falls was able to catch Kentucky singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso Shelby Lore for a virtual conversation.  He’s the man behind the Shelby Lore Band which is based in Northeastern Kentucky in Carter County. That’s a little more than halfway between Lexington, Kentucky and Huntington, West Virginia if you’re traveling East. Less than halfway if you’re going West. Falls first saw Shelby live filling in on lead guitar for fellow Kentuckian Jordan Lee King a while back and made my way to find him after the show, he was so impressed. I soon discovered he was not only a fantastic guitar player, but singer and songwriter on his own with a killer blues-rock-country blend of a band.  We chatted about his latest single “Memphis”, music in the works, playing live and supporting other artists while doing so. You’re going to like Shelby a lot. You can find Shelby Lore and his band online at shelbyloremusic.com, on Spotify, Instagram Facebook and other places you find music.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler’s new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.
