Named after the actress known for her working class roles The Shelley Winters Project is galvanized by the songwriting of Rick Berlin - narratives shaded with compassion, wit and experience. The band is: Meredith Cooper (violin), David Berndt (guitar), Noah Scanlan (bass)and Jeff Muzzerole (drums). They recall the glam rock days of Bowie and Roxy Music and their first album "I Hate Everything But You" is a masterpiece.

"...the album is an immaculate fusion of rock, cabaret and jazz, anchored meticulously by Berlin's dusky, emotive vocals. Hypnotic and ambient at times, propulsive and rocking at others, ...a glorious new favorite for devotees of David Byrne, Brian Eno, and Neil Hannon. It's a powerhouse of a record, gorgeous melodies, dramatic beauty, jazzy theatrics, and pop sensibility. The band members are quite simply brilliant."

"Beautiful and challenging."

"Rick Berlin is a throwback - to the androgynous glam of Bowie and the New York Dolls, the glammy punk of Talking Heads and Blondie, and the proto-new wave of Roxy Music... The SWP has all the Berlin hallmarks: driving rock with a cabaret sensibility and songcraft. Berlin, meanwhile, is the traveling troubadour of the Boston Scene, bringing the stories of one neighborhood to another in his songs: ... Berlin is Boston."
-Jon Garelick
(The Boston Phoenix)

"The Shelley Winters Project has an aura that says 'legend'... The SWP cd feels "classic". I don't mean like dude classic rock. I mean classy, long standing, well crafted. What came to mind was the White Album. So perfect in my ears."
-Sady Sullivan
