The Shaelyn Band

THEIR STORY

The Shaelyn Band is a Florida based band capable of shifting from classic soul blues and funk to rock. They are fronted by Shaelyn (aka Shae Mulberry), a singer and poet who can wail like Joyce Kennedy, charm like Aretha Franklin, and soliloquize like Erykah Badu. With their highly energized live show, The Shaelyn Band is poised to take on the music industry.

The band formed in 2020, after drummer and music director, Tim Mulberry met lead guitar player Erik Guess in Jacksonville, Florida. The lineup quickly began to take shape by adding bass player, Curtis Harris and background vocalist, Mark Barner.

On September 9th, 2022, The Shaelyn Band released their self titled album “The Shaelyn Band”. The album delivers an array of emotions with its various songs of experience like, “Good Time”, “Always You”, “Stay Home Love” and “Just Can’t Leave” to name a few. Listeners are able to dance their cares away, reclaim their lives and destiny, as well as receive encouragement and take a moment to simply reflect on the joys of love and life. 

On October 18th, 2023, The Shaelyn Band released their second album titled “Juke Joint!” The new album really takes you back to the good ole’ juke joint days of backwoods energy. Songs like “Fake Love”, “Saturday” and “Blues Storm” really bring the grooving vibes of the South to the world through passionate growls and raspy vocals, as well as synchronized harmonies. 

The Shaelyn Band is continuing to move and groove the hearts of the music lovers with detailed lyrics and dynamic intros at each and every show they perform. The rising band is making their name grand in the blues industry and look to continue to grace all stages, great and small, across the US and soon, Internationally.

This year the Tennessee Riverboat Company has some changes in ticket pricing. Every cruise ticket (no matter what type) has a “port fee” of $1.50. In addition, if you buy your ticket online, there is an online fee of $1.75. The fee of $1.75 is not charged for buying tickets over the phone with a credit card or in person (credit card or cash).  As usual, sales tax is applied.  Be advised that weather or boat mechanical conditions could lead the Captain of the boat to order that the boat not go out on the river, and so the show will take place at the dock.

We want you to be informed of these incidental changes

We are looking forward to seeing you on the water enjoying our Blues Cruises.
