Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Snelby Grelling was born in a single-room-occupancy hotel in San Francisco’s North Beach to two old men who lived across the hall from one another. She spent her formative years playing alone among the nearby strip clubs, haunted blues bars, and Italian restaurants, godparented by various freaks, vernacular songwriters, poets, and buskers. In 2020 a prophetic dream prompted her to give up performance and move to a secluded area on the North coast where she spent years in silence observing the natural world.
