Girl in a Hurry: The Shelly Bush Story

How do you measure success in the music business? Shelly Bush wanted to be a star but she never achieved her dream, so why does her story matter? Artists like Shelly aren’t often noted in the record of country music history. She didn’t have awards or hit songs, but chart-toppers can only dream of leaving behind a legacy like she left. Hosted by Ellen Angelico, “Girl in a Hurry: The Shelly Bush Story” is a love letter to "making it" as well as making the best of it. Angelico weaves together heartfelt interviews, hilarious anecdotes, and Shelly’s unforgettable music to celebrate the woman who proved that success is measured by impact, not accolades.
