Ep 23: Musical Voyager with Shelly Poole (Alisha’s Attic, Red Sky July)


Listen Later

Shelly Poole and her sister Karen work independently of each other as much sought-after hit-writers for today’s pop acts. But their success began jointly as hit makers themselves; lining up the soldiers and shooting them all down from 1996 to 2001.
Their career began in their friends attic where their band Alisha’s Attic was born. They racked up hit after hit before consciously uncoupling after their third album.

I met Shelly in London a few months back and we talked for hours. In fact we were thrown out of the rented meeting room for massively outstaying out allotted time-slot. Shelly talked about her ferocious work ethic and the difficulty she faces in separating her life into her writing day-job and her night time passion project Red Sky July. The americana band with her husband Ally McErlaine (Texas) and Charity Hair (The Alice Band) which she describes as her heart.

She also reflects on her time in Alisha’s Attic and we struggle to come to terms with their debut being released 20 years ago today.

Whether you were tragically unaware of Alisha’s Attic or you were a die-hard Dangel-wearing FAN-ATTIC you will find Shelly a wonderfully inspiring person.  Die-hard fans can be content we did address (and perhaps put to bed) the Attic Vaults 2 debacle and we also discover the most famous Fan-Attic.

So grab a coffee and tune in to a time when it felt like Alisha really did rule the world.
