A Crowsnest Pass native, Shelly has been an active performer since graduating from the Glenn Gould School in 2005, where she studied with Lorand Fenyves and Phoebe Tsang.  Before then she was a student of William van der Sloot at Medicine Hat College and Mount Royal College, where she earned a Performance Diploma in 2001.  She has performed in the Lethbridge Symphony since 2005, adjudicated at music festivals in Brooks and Lacombe, and has appeared as a guest artist and arranger on albums by Cowpuncher, Reuben & the Dark, Jay Crocker, Dave Simpson, Brooke Wylie, and Becky Pichurski. 

A former member of Calgary band Axis of Conversation, she now performs with her guitarist husband, Tynan Groves, and jazz vocalist Terra Hazelton in a trio they call Hazy Grove.  Shelly also enjoys conducting the Crowsnest Community Orchestra, playing with the Second Fiddle String Jam for square dances, and improvising, arranging and composing on the side.  She maintains a full studio at home in Coleman, where she and Tynan are raising their three children, trying to keep up with their border collie, and keeping a few hives of honeybees.
