Sheli Aarden-Monacchio is writing songs from a place that she hadn’t yet discovered on her debut release, Digging For Daylight. On her follow up effort, Kansas, she has a feet and her pen firmly planted on confident ground and is writing the types of songs that she was always meant to write. Songs that breathe with a no fear, confessional tone, that give the listener a crystal clear picture of exactly what she is trying to bring across with each and every song. Kansas is the album that she has been working toward, since she first graced the New Jersey coffee house circuit in 2004. The Hamilton NJ resident has been burning the candle at both ends, not only with the April 2011 release of Kansas, but by following it up six months later with a collaboration project with her husband, Keith Monacchio, aptly titled The Monacchios – Wedding Album. It’s more than a bit of an understatement to say the this girl has been busy.

Sheli Aarden-Monacchio has been a fixture on the NJ “coffee house” circuit since 2004. She has multiple Asbury Music & JAM (Jersey Acoustic Musician) award nominations to her credit. This year saw her pick up an award for Best Folk Act for her Monacchios offshoot project. Branching out of the regular circuit of music haunts, Aarden-Monacchio is playing anywhere and everywhere to make sure as many ears as possible hear her music.

New shows being announced monthly and a new album in the works. The upcoming album "No Such Thing" will be released in late 2016.
