In 2012, Seattle singer-songwriter Shelby Earl seemingly came out of nowhere with a stunning debut album entitled Burn the Boats. For day two of the Twelve Days of Fretboard, we couldn’t resist asking Earl to perform a tune for our cameras. She plays “Swift Arrows” off of her forthcoming 2013 release, produced by Damien Jurado. Earl also talks about her Martin 000-16RGT, which she says is the perfect guitar fit for the sound of her voice.

The Twelve Days of Fretboard is our effort to showcase some of our favorite artists and musicians in a new light. We hope you enjoy it.
