Hey! So eight years went by after the release of "Every Friday" and here came "Keeping The Space". This is my 4th cd. This and "Back Roads" are my personal favorites. Maybe because of growth, getting older, and settling in. Half of the album is with my band, and the other half acoustic. Enjoy the cd! Here is a brief bio: Coretta Sellars stems from the small town of Lunenburg, MA, contributing her neutral sound and passionate lyrics to the musical blends of Country, Alternative, and Folk/Rock stylings. As writing has always served as a means of Sellars being able to vent and deliver her worldly messages to the masses, her signature, soulful, sound has been inspired heavily by such mainstream acts that include The Eagles, Indigo Girls and The Rolling Stones. Sellars began playing the guitar and performing in front of live audiences during her teenage years. Enveloped by music in due part to the modes of singing and instrumental sessions that always framed family gatherings, Sellars decided at the age of fifteen that creating songs and sharing them universally would be her definitive contribution to the world.
Having already recorded four albums between 1996 and present day, Sellars has created a prolific catalogue of songs that have become popular and personal amongst her fellow listeners and fan base. Sellars’ first recording, Say Something,(1994-1995) is a single that she made copies of on actual cassettes and distributed and sold to her high school classmates. Since then, Sellars has received radio airplay, via WXRV, in Boston, MA, with her smash hit, Best of Me. Her belief in unity, as well as her acceptance of life’s hardships, and respect across humanity, has aided Sellars in writing poignant lyrics that she hopes will help her fans to find closure, fill a void or soundtrack a past memory. Emotional songs that include, Sticking Around, Just Like Nothing, Lonely, Looking For, and Elizabeth, are compilations that have stood as the trophy pieces of Sellars’ career. Ultimately, Sellars would love to receive global recognition for her writing skills, as well as garnering critical acclaim amongst the folk genre. Sellars pays homage, through her talents, to those who have supported her sixteen year career, and who shall continue to extract a sense of faith and hope within the confines of her music.
