Here are some specific facts about the individuals that make up this Fine Mess:

Shelby has always been a singer. She sings a variety of things from Alternative to Metal, Pop, Rock and Christian music. She has been the “front man” in other versions of this local band: Fuzed as well as the Shelby Ford Project. Some of her musical influences are Melissa Etheridge, Duran Duran, Journey, Stevie Nicks and Kansas.
