" an uncompromising performer, Shelly's choice of material, plus her own written words, deals with topical issues delivered in an exhilarating, riveting manner "

" Shelly Loeffler's beat poetry performance is tops. I've hired her on a few occasions in the past years, most notably to joining with the founding Shuffle Demon Rich Underhill at a jazz gig in Saskatoon. Shelly 's got a beat, she's got the smooth attitude, and voice, my god, the voice. Smoky, yet with clarity so the audience can catch each word; sexy without distracting entirely from the text; great tone. Shelly is as interested in the history and meaning of the text as in the performance. She's knowledgeable about the pieces she performs and enjoys sharing that knowledge with the audience. But it's definitely all about the performance - great timing, audience appeal, authentic voice, lots of fun, very groovy. I'd recommend her as an addition to an jazz show or poetry reading."
