Rock/Review Shaela Miller - After The Masquerade

On the heels of TV placements like HBO’s True Blood, CBC’s Heartland, top-tier festival circuiting, supporting Matthew Good’s tour, and her upcoming Canadian headlining tour, Shaela sets aside (at least for now) her Loretta Lynn likeness in favor of the synth-laden corridors of a new sonic pathway.
