Shelley Burns started singing and dancing as a child with the Burns Sisters Quartet and continues as a featured vocalist in jazz and pop groups, radio and television commercials and recordings.

Shelley performs with a number of Sacramento musical groups, and with her band "Shelley Burns and Avalon Swing" at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee and at other jazz festivals around the world. Shelley has an extensive knowledge of standard jazz repertoire, having over thirty-five years of experience as a professional jazz vocalist, working with world-class musicians.

Shelley participated in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival '96, with a theater troupe from California in a show called 'Jazzbirds,' and was a featured guest artist at the '96 International Jazz and Blues Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. Shelley has recently produced her fourth album with her popular dance and show ensemble Avalon Swing. Her latest two recordings with jazz trios, receive airplay on jazz radio stations across the country. She performs at numerous jazz festivals, annually at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, and is a two-time nominee as best jazz musician for the Sacramento Music Award. Unique arrangements of jazz standards highlight her performances throughout the West with pianist Bob Fylling.

Shelley has been teaching voice for nineteen years, a technique based on a series of vocal exercises that will strengthen vocal folds to improve range, flexibility and control. Her lessons are filled with helpful breathing exercises, health tips for singers, and application of technique to song. Students are encouraged to participate in recitals.
