Biography
Fairchild was born in Clinton, Mississippi, to a musical family.[1] She began performing at an early age in church and later in her high school's show choir. Fairchild studied communications, theater and music at Mississippi College and subsequently starred in local stage shows including Grease and Always Patsy Cline. She also traveled with the national touring company for Beehive: The 60's Musical.[1]
Personal life
On July 29, 2017, Fairchild married the music executive Deborah DeLoach[2] in Vail, Colorado. Their elopement was covered in Brides which included venue and catering by Collective Vail, Fairchild's dress by Free People, DeLoach's dress by Thread & Needle, from BHLDN, officiant Susie Kincade and photography by Mackenzie Neville.[3] Their wedding was voted by Brides as the Top 50 Favorite Real Wedding Photos of 2017.[citation needed] The couple resides in Nashville, Tennessee.[citation needed]
Career
In 2004, Fairchild signed to Columbia Records.[1] Her first album, Ride, was issued in early 2005. Its lead-off single, "You Don't Lie Here Anymore", co-written with Clay Mills, peaked at No. 35 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, although subsequent singles failed to chart. She toured in support of the album including an opening spot on Rascal Flatts' sold-out Here's to You tour which also featured Blake Shelton, but was dropped from Columbia by the end of the year.
In 2008, Fairchild signed a record deal with Stroudavarious Records which was founded by producer James Stroud.[4] Her first release was the song "It's All Gonna Work Out", which she released for a charity album called We Are Enterprise.
On April 11, 2011, Fairchild's second album,, Ruby's Money, was released. Free from the confines of a major label, she set out to take control of her music and released "Ruby’s Money" on her own label, Revelation Nation Records. She took her unstoppable voice to another level, creating an album that reflected a "Memphis kind of feel" with horns. She co-wrote a song called "Love Everybody", which was an anchor for this record.[5]
In 2014, Fairchild was one of three background singers for Martina McBride's "Everlasting Tour". Touring with McBride, Fairchild explained, was a huge highlight of her career. "If someone thinks I’m good enough to come and sing backgrounds for them, I’m like, ‘Yeah’ — especially if it's music I love. Martina is somebody I’ve looked up to as a singer my whole life."[5]
In 2016, Fairchild did a PledgeMusic campaign and surpassed her goal by 41% in just two days to record her latest album Buffalo.[6] Her third studio album, Buffalo, was released December 2016. This record entered the Top 100 Country albums on iTunes in the first week.[7] Fairchild went on to release her first single, "Mississippi Turnpike" which she debuted in her first music video in ten years. It premiered exclusively on Taste Of Country[8] and went on to play repeatedly on CMT making this her first independent play on the major network since her first album Ride.[9]
In July 2017, Rolling Stone magazine listed Shelly has the Top 10 New Country Artists You Need To Know.[10] Shelly is asked to sing regularly on the Grand Ole Opry and has her own designated artist page on the Opry website.[11]
Shelly is also an active writer and artist for TV and Film. In January 2017 Shelly signed with Nashville-based Licensing Firm Resin8. Working with various songwriters and producers – Shelly is consistently writing and recording for new film and TV opportunities.[12]
In July 2020, Fairchild was awarded the LGBTQ Rising Star Award at Ty Herndon "Love and Acceptance" show streamed on Country Music Television.[13]
In August 2020, Fairchild was featured in Brandon Stansell's documentary Three Chords and A Lie which dos not sugarcoat the truth about coming out in many parts of America ─ depicting some truly heart-wrenching moments in his story. It streams on OutTV (Canadian TV channel).[14]
In June 2021, Fairchild sang at the Ryman Auditorium participating as a featured artist in the Nashville and Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce Pride Event. Streaming on all of its social channels, Tina Cannon, executive director of Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement, "Working together with Nashville, we are combining the talent of two of the greatest musical communities in the world to produce an amazing live show that directly supports LGBTQ+ artists."[15]
In July 2021, Fairchild began touring with Lennon Stella as one of her background singers for her festival dates including Wonderstruck, Bonnaroo, Roots N Blues and Moon Crush.[16]
