I'm Fine (But I'm Lying) with Shelbi Bennett Live!
Shelbi Bennett Live — "I'm Fine (But I'm Lying)" Release Show Special Guest: John Meeks
San Diego singer-songwriter Shelbi Bennett brings her long-awaited solo journey to the stage. A 15-year veteran of the local music scene, Shelbi has earned four San Diego Music Awards, shared stages with Dick Dale and David J (Bauhaus), and performed regularly at Napa Valley's BottleRock Festival.
Her solo work spans delicate introspective songwriting to country howl to shimmering electronic — all her own. Expect music, art, and something truly unique.
Opening Reception: Shelbi Bennett - Golden Light
Golden Light is a collection of works on paper that explore feminist approaches to storytelling, melody, composition and rhythm in its relationship to songwriting and contemporary painting, with narrative and structure at its core. The exhibition presents a collection of works that coincide with Bennett's release of her latest single "I'm Fine (But I'm Lying)" — with an entire segment of the exhibition visually narrating the song. Moving from the graphic novel boldness of dark lines and allegoric snapshot drawings in 4/4 timing, Bennett changes the tone of the exhibition with a separate selection of works created with a certain softness and self discovery. These works on paper evoke androgyny and mythology through soft psychological and almost private snapshots and observations of her figurative subjects.
