With a deep voice that's pure grit, Brooklyn's Shilpa Ray is quickly gaining a rep for flaunting in-your-face vocals. It's hard to believe that such a powerful sound comes from such a small person, but Shilpa Ray defies her physical expectations by talking smack at shows, working her accordion with fervor, and bellowing vocals that sound the like an Ida Maria/PJ Harvey explosion. Tonight, Shilpa Ray and Her Happy Hookers return to home turf and pay a raucous visit to the Bell House.
