New York-based singer/songwriter SHIRA will release this lovely single soon. “Butterflies” was featured in the indie film Landing Up and has become a live favourite. The track will appear on her debut album Till The Sun Comes>. .
Shira says of the track: “For the longest time I couldn’t really feel anything after my dad passed away. Then I met this guy… and it was obvious that this was a romance, that this was not THE guy, but for a magic moment I felt my heart opening up and it just reminded me that- oh, this can happen to me again! Even after the worst thing you can ever imagine, happens. I can love.”
Born in Rochester, NY, Shira split her time growing up between Washington D.C. and Tel Aviv due to her parents job commitments. A true child of the world, from an early age she was drawn to music and acting as a way to make a connection and these twin passions would accompany her throughout her life. Shira recently starred in the new Off Broadway musical, EVENING-1910 at Axis Theatre to rave reviews. Prior to that, she played the lead in the Off-Broadway production of Solitary Light where she met award winning guitarist and longtime music director of Blondie, Paul Carbonara. As they worked on the musical, which Carbonara co-wrote and arranged, a special music bond was created and Paul signed on to produce Shira’s debut album. The album was recorded live in a big room in one of the oldest studios in New York City. It was here, a few steps away from John Coltrane’s personal RCA ribbon microphone, a 9’1” Steinway Grand from the stage at Carnegie Hall and Peter Gabriel’s multitrack recorder from the sessions for So, that the tracks from “Till The Morning Comes” came to life.
