what the folks are saying about S&S:

“Magical” is perhaps the best term to describe the folk-rock duo of Dania Abu-Shaheen and Zilpha Starnes.
As women from completely different backgrounds, the two effortlessly meet in the middle to craft instantly
likeable songs, each bringing their own experiences to the table in the process. With an acoustic EP and a
previously released full-length album under their belt, Pink White Blue Green is a symbol of growth,
reminiscent of artists such as Hazeldine, Ryan Adams and the Cardinals and even Boston’s own Avi & Celia.
Tracks such as the melodic opener, “Romance the Throne,” as well as the sexualized undertones of “Saturn
Starter Home” and the ever-changing world as seen through “Rocket Science,” could easily be heard on the
radio any given day of the week. “Teeth,” “Fit, Fit, Fit” and “Confetti” are especially effective and “ear-
catching” through means of repetition. In terms of originality, each song soars with harmonies, intricacies
unlike anything this reviewer has heard before. Only time will tell, but the talented ladies of Starnes & Shah
could very well be the next big thing to hit the music community.
- Julia R. DeStefano, The Noise

Starnes&Shah are a welcome arrival on the music scene; when a really good band moves between Boston
and New York, they're usually heading south. In this case, we have two new voices that sound so good
together. Starnes&Shah dance splendidly on the fence between folky-rock and rockish-folk, but it doesn't
matter with great lyrics and melodies. S&S have been joined by a local bassist and drummer, and the
acoustics are great at the Lily Pad.
