Shelley Hirsch came to the Oranien Studio to talk with Shephard and Van Alebeek. Songs of her beautiful album Where were you then are played; Shelley talks about some of the songs, which brings her to her eye-witnessing the 9/11 attack just a few blocks from where she lived, but takes the listener also to California in the early 70s, Amsterdam when flower power was written on every T-shirt, to Brooklyn, her father playing songs on an old gramophone. Shelley Hirsch’s storytelling is totally captivating and brings hilarious moments. Also hear how she discovered that Adrian’s brother is a priest.
