“Among Boston’s finest interpreters of the Great American Songbook, Metcalf has a musical archeologist’s nose for unearthing lesser-known gems from the 20’s to the 50’s.”
—The Boston Globe, November 2011
Read The New York Times review of Shepley’s show in New York.
Shepley Metcalf sings standards that have sizzle, wit, and a story to tell. She adores the tried-and-true tunes of Irving Berlin, the Gershwins, Howard Arlen, Johnny Mercer et al, and she delights in forgotten songs from the 20’s to 50’s that she digs up and brings to life.
Performing regularly in the Boston area, Shepley has also travelled to top clubs in New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago to present her show of new music by lyricist Fran Landesman (“Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most”).
Her musical partner is the exceptional pianist and arranger Ron Roy.
