Hey, just wanting to tell everyone about an artist I recently heard perform. She has a unique story and is a remarkable woman � and yes, she�s also from my home state of Texas.

To me, Sheila Swift�s new CD �The Shape of Things� is really upbeat music. I hear a little of Gwen Stefani, a little Michelle Branch, and a little Sarah McLachlan in her new album. Her songs have intensely, moving lyrics to a rawkin� good beat.

You can listen to some of her new music on if you would like at www.myspace.com/sheilaswift

And she also has an official website at www.sheilaswift.com if you like to learn more about her.
