Biography:

Smooth, pure, country voice. Not words someone would have uttered to Shirley Albert when she was growing up.

Shirley’s musical influences in her formative years would surprise many who know her today and who’ve listened to her music. She credits KISS and AC/DC among her early influences. While Shirley manages to belt out a harder edge sound on the rock infused Biker Chick on her current self-titled album, her musical influences today remain deep-rooted into country music with the likes of Lorrie Morgan, Reba McEntire, George Jones, Lee Ann Womack and Sara Evans.

Having spent most her teenage years in the area of Shediac, New Brunswick - a rural, seaside village known for its claim as the world’s lobster capital and its warm-water, sandy beaches - Shirley was surrounded by country and western music from a very early age when her father played fiddle in a band and where she would often accompany him on vocals.
