Guest Bio: J.D. Shelburne

JD Shelburne is the best of both worlds. He rocks a crowd like nobody’s business and tears at your heartstrings with ballads that cut to the core of life and love.

Shelburne does both more than two hundred times a year in venues ranging from packed clubs to huge festivals. Shelburne has opened for Miranda Lambert, Craig Morgan, Chris Young, Marty Stuart, Jamey Johnson, and Montgomery Gentry. Including sharing the stage with 50 national acts, Shelburne has logged over 2,500 performances to date.

The approach is genuine and simple. "I give them ninety minutes of high energy,” Shelburne delivers, “but at one point I’ll break it down with a couple of acoustic ballads, sit on a barstool and tell a story or two.”

Those stories give listeners more insight into his musical beginnings in Taylorsville, Kentucky, as all become aware of the dreams that took Shelburne from small home-town clubs to Nashville, Tennessee.

 It’s this relentless drive that is gaining Shelburne national attention that has been earned, one audience, and one record at a time.

Shelburne has appeared on CMT, which premiered videos for his single “One Less Girl.” This single has earned thousands of online views, aired on dozens of country radio stations nationwide, and appeared on Nashville’s prestigious Music Row Chart. Another single, “She Keeps Me Up Nights,” topped charts on the CMT 12-pack Countdown. Shelburne has also debuted as the #1 trending artist on CMT.com. 

Shelburne’s other accomplishments are as diverse as they are impressive. These accomplishments cover appearances on Great American Country, articles in CountryWeekly Magazine, and live performances at over 100 fairs/festivals spanning the eastern region of the U.S throughout his stellar career. Tour dates include the CMA Music Festival, NCAA Women’s Final Four, Quaker State 400 NASCAR Race, SunTrust Park, Guaranteed Rate Field, Great American Ballpark, Freedom Hall, and Rupp Arena to name a few. To say Shelburne has played his fair share in the music industry is an understatement. Shelburne is also the current Texas Roadhouse Artist of the Month nationwide in 580 restaurants!
