Out There, Right Here —
New Instrumental Album by Shirley Cason
Out There, Right Here is a collection of pieces composed with intention, stillness, and presence. Each note was played in real time, shaped by emotion — a quiet journey through space and back to the heart.
I wanted each piece to feel like part of a story — connected, gentle, and emotionally alive.
This album was created to be experienced as a whole — with each track gently flowing into the next, offering a sense of movement and meaning.
It reflects the belief that music is a living expression — something to be felt, breathed, and experienced fully. — Shirley Cason

I’m Shirley Cason — pianist, keyboardist, and composer. The albums I’ve recorded over the years are more than relaxing music… they’re chapters of my journey. Some were created during moments of joy. Others were born from grief, healing, and hope. Each melody tells a story. Maybe even one you’ve lived too. I invite you to listen, reflect, and simply be here.

About Shirley
I write songs from the heart, inspired by life's most personal moments—whether they bring tears or joy. As Robert Frost said, "No tears or surprise in the writer, no tears or surprise in the reader." I create music that touches me deeply, hoping it touches you the same way.
My albums reflect the balance of life, with moments of light and tenderness woven throughout. Though I don’t sing on my albums, (yet!), my songs often begin with heartfelt lyrics that you can find on each album page.
Thank you for listening. I hope my music becomes a part of your own story.
❤️ Love & Music, Shirley 🖱️ Read full bio →

🎵 A Thousand Years - by Janis Ian & Russ Taff
🎬 Video & music arrangement created
by Shirley Cason
🎵 A Thousand Years is a holiday song written by Janis Ian and Russ Taff, originally featured on one of Janis’s albums.
Janis Ian, a Multiple GRAMMY® Award-winning artist known for her poetic songwriting since the 1970s, has long been admired by Shirley Cason.
As a heartfelt tribute, Shirley created a new keyboard arrangement of A Thousand Years — layering her own instrumentation beneath Janis Ian’s original vocals and guitar, while honoring the timeless essence of Janis’s signature sound.
When Shirley shared the arrangement with Janis, she was so touched that she released it as an official single.
On her website, Janis even referred to Shirley as a “longtime friend” — a heartfelt gesture that meant the world to her.
