Skeldon's new EP, “Where the Story Ends,” includes three solo tunes and a duet she wrote and performed with her friend, Kyle Denson.  That duet, “Nightmare,” is accompanied by “Unloved,” “fch,” and “Outgrown,” which was released as a single back in December.

According to Skeldon, her songs are often deeply personal and reflective.  She has released about a dozen originals to date, playing piano and guitar in addition to vocals.  She has also recorded another version of “Outgrown” with the local band Timeless. 

Skeldon's new EP arrives on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Amazon Music, and all music platforms on March 31.
