Welcome to the official web site of Fred Shelton, singer/guitarist extraordinaire.  Fred's music spans several decades and many genres, from WWI to favorite romantic ballads to children's songs.  He began performing in his own restaurant in Boulder, Colorado in 1971.  Since then, he has performed throughout the Colorado Front Range area.  He has also appeared on the major TV stations in the Denver area, and his music has been played internationally via radio. His downtown Boulder restaurant of 31 years (1954 - 1985), where he performed for 12 years, became a Boulder institution due to the good food, wonderful employees and customers, Fred's warm and friendly personality, and later, the music. Many restaurants and musicians have come and gone through the years; but Fred remains a Colorado Front Range icon and musician-for-hire.

So check out his Performance Schedule, or relax and stay a while. Meet Fred, or reminisce about the good ole days at Fred's Restaurant by listening to MP3s of Fred's soothing voice and smooth guitar on the Music page; check out his Bio and Photos, or visit the Store to purchase CDs.  And be sure to let us know you stopped by for a visit by signing the Guestbook.
