Introducing our first Storyteller on Busker's Corner: Shelly Johnson! Shelly will be kicking off our debut episode with a charming story about her first busking days, titled "Freedom of Expression." In her own words, she's "an off-grid high desert yurt dwelling artist, musician, traveller and lover of life." Shelly is a prolific pop art painter, ukulele player in the band "Roadhouse Karma," and an avid world traveler. (Check out her artwork + travels via the links posted below!)
Robert (Host/Co-Creator of Busker's Corner) and Shelly have been friends ever since the early 90's when they both had art studios at The Faux Cafe, and then again at The Hub Studios, in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. We adore Shelly and can't wait for you to hear her stories!

Hey 👋 We’re the creators & hosts of the upcoming Podcast: Busker’s Corner. Wanted to introduce ourselves and give you a glimpse into the creation of this epic project.
We are Fable & Robert, aka, Half-A-Shipwreck Music + Art Duo . We’re a husband and wife music/art team traveling the land in a conversion van with our beloved hound dog Blaze.
We’ve been busking together for the past seven years and have built up quite a passionate enthusiasm for all things street performance.
Going way back before we played music as a career, we were both huge fans of radio shows, such as, This American Life. Nowadays, in the age of podcasts, it’s been very satisfying to immerse deeper into the wonderful world of audio documentaries, storytelling, and audio dramas.
One day we looked around and realized how underrepresented buskers are in pop culture...At first this made us sad, and then it lit a wildfire of inspiration to change that!
By producing our own music over the years we’ve learned a lot about DIY recordings and production. Blending this with our love of podcasts/storytelling alongside our passion for busking and viola! Busker’s Corner was conceived!
Season one has been a work in progress since early Winter 2021, and will be released this October 24th!
It’s a pleasure to meet you & we’re extremely thankful for your participation on this journey! 🙏❤️🎧📻🎉
