Naomi Shelton

Naomi Shelton started singing in her church in Midway, Alabama, when she was six years old. She moved to New York in the 60s and started living a double life singing at clubs at night and having odd jobs during the day. Now over sixty, she is releasing her first full-length album. Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens join us with a live performance.

    I was fortunate to happen upon Naomi and the ladies perform at South Paw last Winter. I am SO THRILLED that they're incredible energy and voices are captured on this release. I've been waiting - it's my lucky vacation weekend! Ladies, you make everything OOOOOKKKK!

    Folks who enjoy the tremendous Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens can catch them every Friday at 8:30 at Fat Cat (75 Christopher St. in the West Village). Hooray!

    Cheers!
