Sally & George is a musical duo at the crossroads of Americana/rock/country/blues. Based in Nashville, TN. Members are GRAMMY nominated Shelby Means and award winning Joel Timmons.
We were in Wyoming recently and made a video with Square State Film at the historic Gryphon Theatre in Laramie. I hope you enjoy the song that sparked the Sally & George romance.

Remember when we pranked y'all on April Fools day? Enjoy our live version of "Hey Wow!"
"Hey Wow" it's been a crazy year for us! We released our debut album back in february, and have been on tour ever since. Life just keeps coming at us so fast, it's hard to know how we got here. I guess all the activities that we describe in this song have led to another pending release... We are gonna have a BABY!!! #fakenews #aprilfools #nobodyispregnant
Friends, we are so in love with Charleston and it seems our love is coming back to us in the form of another great press feature in the Charleston Magazine.
"When two established musicians join forces, the results are often magical. Think June Carter and Johnny Cash, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and Charleston’s own Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent (aka Shovels & Rope). And now, meet Sally & George—actually Shelby Means, former bass player for Grammy-nominated Nashville bluegrass outfit Della Mae, and her fiancé, Joel Timmons, vocalist and guitarist for Holy City mainstay Sol Driven Train."

Have you seen our official video for "Tip My Heart"? We had such a blast making this video with director Scot Sax. We shot it earlier this year at Michael Weintrob Photography Studio and Gallery in our neighborhood in East Nashville. It premiered on No Depression last week, and here's what Cameron Matthews wrote about it:
Sally and George, the new project from former Della Mae bassist Shelby Means and Sol Driven Train's Joel Timmons, is a fresh spin on a classic sound. The group's single "Tip My Heart" gives a nod to country duos like Johnny and June with an added dose of doo-wop.
"Imagine a brother and sister in their early toddling years. They say to each other, 'Let's fall in love again.' They grab hands, position themselves side by side with their backs to the soft bed, count to three and go weak in the knees. The siblings fall simultaneously 'in love' and onto the bed in a pile of giggles," Means explains.
"The whimsical lyrics of 'Tip My Heart' initiated from my early memories of the falling in love game. Twenty years later I was reminded of that feeling when talking to a gentleman with charming eye contact. I tend to fall in love just by looking into someone's eyes as the eyes are a window to the soul. Love can be dangerous, sometimes I slip and fall and crack wide open to a deep ever-flowing river of love and get washed away down the rapids, never the same."
Same, Shelby.
Means and Timmons actually got engaged back in the summer of 2016, so the doe-eyes in the video below are pretty real. The group worked with director Scot Sax to come up with the concept, which they shot in East Nashville. It's a silly, playful clip but there's a lot of heart in the underlying song which involves an easy bass rhythm, chicken pickin' guitar work, and call-and-answer vocals.
