The sisters are classically-trained musicians. Emerging from the artist colony of Fort Collins on the Eastern slope of Colorado, SHEL is sophisticated and youthful, emotional and lighthearted, classic and eccentric. SHEL's engaging live show is marked with a prodigy's creativity and a veteran's instinct for entertaining. At every performance, SHEL delights audiences with their unique songwriting style and fresh, new sound.
"SHEL has delivered one of the most impressive debuts of the year..." Chris Douridas, KCRW, Los Angeles
"These girls are sooooo amazing... the Sky's the Limit!" Chris Conn, Conman Radio/Dial Global
"SHEL performs with the precision of a heat seeking missile." Paul Kennerley, Award-winning Songwriter
Sarah, 19 (Violin, Bass) - Immensely gifted as a violinist and vocalist, Sarah also shines with her bass chops. Highly creative, Sarah's diverse artistic talents have lead her to be the primary designer of SHEL's original graphics and videography. She is also the undisputed ambassador of fun at every show.
Hannah, 22 (Piano, Keyboards) An award-winning young composer and pianist, Hannah also sings and helps arrange SHEL's unique vocal harmonies. Hannah has been studying at Colorado State University for the past three years where she's concentrated on piano performance and composition.
Eva, 20 (Mandolin, Electric Mandolin, Cello) Lead vocalist and one of the band's primary writers, Eva's passion and talent for playing both acoustic and electric mandolin has received widespread recognition. Involved in every phase of arranging and production, Eva records much of the band's tracks in their home studio.
Liza, 16 (Drums, Percussion) - Liza's natural polyrhythmic ability was spotted at an early age. Not only is she the drummer for the band, Liza is equally proficient on the Djembe and Roland Hand Sonic drum. Her creative approach to percussion enables her to create the unique rhythm patterns that help define SHEL's music.
The group glides effortlessly atop the lilting, sublime voices of the Holbrook sisters, Sarah, Hannah, Eva and Liza. But Shel's appeal goes way beyond the vocals. These gals are exceptional musicians as well, with each member playing an array of instruments including violin, electric bass, piano, mandolin to drums. The sisters, which got their start backing their singer-songwriter dad Andrew, have already attracted the attention of soundtrack supervisor extraordinaire, Chris Douridas from KCRW, who listed their six-song EP, Try To Scream, as "one of the most impressive debuts of the year." Couldn't agree more.

Hold On
SHEL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping that the time would move you
I put my faith in your promise
That you'd be here soon
Don't doubt it darlin', the stars may be fallin'
I'm still coming for you I can hear your whisper
Every doubt screams where are you
Harder to get trough
Don't give up darlin', the stars may be fallin'
I'm still coming for you
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
I can swear I feel you
Every time I lay my head down
Nothing but restless sleepless
Long nights now
Don't lose hope darlin', the stars may be fallin'
I'm still coming for you
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Don't doubt it darlin'
I'm holdin' on
Don't give up darlin'

Don't lose hope darlin'
I'm holdin', hold, hold
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer
Hold on
Hold just a little longer

I've been listenin' to the silence
I've been paying attention to the absence of your voice
Hoping that the time would move you
Hoping that time passes fast enough for you to arrive sooner
I put my faith in your promise
I trusted you when you said you'd be here
That you'd be here soon
That you'd come and see me soon
Don't doubt it darlin', the stars may be fallin'
Don't question it, even if the world seems to be ending
I'm still coming for you I can hear your whisper
I'm still on my way to you and I can feel your presence
Every doubt screams where are you
Every uncertainty makes me wonder where you are
And every moment waiting makes the day
Every second spent waiting makes the day seem longer
Harder to get trough
More difficult to endure
Don't give up darlin', the stars may be fallin'
Don't lose hope, even if everything seems to be falling apart
Hold on
Hang in there
Hold just a little longer
Endure just a bit more
I can swear I feel you
I'm convinced that I sense your presence
Every time I lay my head down
Every time I go to bed
Nothing but restless sleepless
I'm unable to sleep because I'm too anxious and worried
Long nights now
Nights seem endless
Don't lose hope darlin', the stars may be fallin'
Don't despair, even if everything appears hopeless
I'm holdin' on
I'm hanging on
Hold on
Endure
Hold just a little longer
Endure just a bit more
Hold on
Endure
Hold just a little longer
Endure just a bit more
Hold on
Endure
Hold just a little longer
Endure just a bit more
Hold on
Endure
