Rick Shelley
Dusty Futon
Rick Shelley drove all the way down from La Quinta to sit on the Dusty Futon! While he may sound country, he started out in a Glam-Rock phase with his high-school buddies, one of them being Nick Oliveri. Originally from Walla Walla Washington, this singer/songwriter didn’t plan to become a singer, he was just the only one in the band who could. He brought his guitar and plays live for his in this episode of The Dusty Futon…
info_outlineHe’s prolific in musical instruments and writing songs…Doug Schmude (rhymes with moody) graces us with his presence this episode. Tyler had a flashback when he saw his Harmonica harness, remembering his days of wearing braces with a full mouth guard! Luckily, he comes back to reality in time to get this Baton Rouge native turned life-long Southern Californian to share some stories. Doug finds himself getting inspiration from nearly every situation you could imagine, “Songwriting is a lifestyle” the father of twin 11-year-olds states…and we couldn’t agree more.
Doug’s first album was released in 2003, “A New Century,” and was nominated for the Orange County Music Awards! His newest album “Burn These Pages," released in 2018, features more story-based originals from the self-taught guitarist (after only 6 months of lessons). Garnering inspirations from 70’s rock and other vinyl from back in the days Doug pieces together emotional stories blended with Rock and Indie sounds. We play two songs from this new album and are lucky enough to get a LIVE PERFORMANCE of another one from “Burn These Pages.
