Selland & Starr are rooted in the tradition of country music, while remaining unafraid to explore new sonic territories. Led by singer/guitarist Shaughnessy Starr and pedal steel player Olaf Selland, their blend of classic twang mixed with contemporary vibes delivers a sound that's as timeless as it is fresh.
Woven from the fabric of LA's intertextual musical landscape, Selland & Starr are a tight-knit group of musicians brought together by their love for the honest storytelling of country music. The emotive vocals of Starr - alongside supporting singers JayCee Porter and Taylor Dunn - breathe life into each performance, taking listeners on a journey through heartache, hope, and everything in between. The haunting cry of Selland’s pedal steel guitar adds a touch of nostalgia, while bassist Tyler English and drummer Owen Barrett provide a rhythmic backbone, driving the band forward with an energy that keeps audiences on their feet.
