[https://chasinglightbeams.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Shira-Elias-Goods-by-Chris-Capaci-283x300.jpg] When Shira isn’t blowing minds on stage with Turkuaz, she’s keeping real busy! Shira sat down with CLB to spill the deets on her new solo EP, the nuts and bolts of what it’s like to be a professional vocalist and tells about some of her biggest musical influences … not to mention the world famous Lightening Round! In her musical career, Shira has recorded six records and played shows at legendary venues like The Fillmore, Red Rocks, The Blue Note in Tokyo and Terminal 5. She has opened for George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, and worked with Jerry Harrison and Adrian Belew of The Talking Heads. Her two EP releases, GOODS and SERVICES together will prove a striking and heartfelt introduction to the artist and songwriter that is Shira Elias.
