Career

In 2004, Fairchild signed to Columbia Records.[1] Her debut 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, and was dropped from Columbia in 2005. In 2005 Shelly co-wrote a song released on Little Big Town's album The Road to Here titled, "Looking For A Reason".

In 2008, Fairchild signed a record deal with Stroudavarious Records which was founded by producer James Stroud.[5] 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, Shelly 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 served as an anchor for this record.[6]

In 2014, Shelly was one of three background singers for Martina McBride's "Everlasting Tour". Touring with Martina has been 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."[6]

In 2016, Fairchild did a PledgeMusic campaign and surpassed her goal by 41% in just two days to record her latest album Buffalo.[7] Shelly's third studio album "Buffalo" was released December 2016. This record broke through the Top 100 Country albums on iTunes in the first week.[8] Fairchild went on to release her first single, "Mississippi Turnpike" which she debuted her first music video in 10 years. It premiered exclusively on Taste Of Country[9] and went on to play repeatedly on CMT (U.S. TV channel) making this her first independent play on the major network since her debut album Ride.[10]

In July 2017, Rolling Stone magazine listed Shelly has the Top 10 New Country Artists You Need To Know.[11] Shelly is asked to sing regularly on the Grand Ole Opry and has her own designated artist page on the Opry's website.[12]

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.[13]

In July 2020, Fairchild was awarded the LGBTQ Rising Star Award at Ty Herndon "Love and Acceptance" show streamed on CMT.[14]
