Hey country fans,After a sold-out night last time, Country Night at Carmen is back in Atherton on Sunday, 9th Aug—and you won’t want to miss it!
We’re thrilled to welcome Shelly Fairchild, a singer-songwriter and Billboard Hot Country Singles charting recording artist, is one of the pioneers and trailblazers for the LGBTQIA+ community in the Nashville Music scene. After music row made it clear that “Queer” was not welcome during her time on a major label, Shelly dug her heels in and not only made a name for herself but has consistently created safe and inclusive spaces in Music City for artists of the Queer and the Queer Affirming community.
This will be another listening room style event, offering the perfect atmosphere to experience Shelly’s music up close.
And to make the evening even better, Tex’s Smoke & Grill will be serving up their delicious menu — the perfect pairing with live country music. 🍴🔥
📅 Date: Sunday, August 9th
🕓 Time: Doors 3pm. Show: 4.30pm–6.30pm
📍 Venue: Carmen, Atherton

Shelly has been featured as a background vocalist with Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Tanya Tucker, Melissa Etheridge, Terri Clark, Martina McBride and others.

With her upcoming album, Shelly steps back into the realm where she feels most at home – Alt Country infused with a little bit of the blues.
