Curt designed and maintains the Internet's most comprehensive resource for jazz guitarists and ukulele players. Here is what jazz guitarist Joe Finn had to say about the site: “One of the internet's most comprehensive resources for the jazz guitarist is jazzguitarresources.com where you will find outstanding information about luthiers, instructional materials, instruments, and the musicians themselves. I especially like the new interview section. Webmaster Curt Sheller, who is also a terrific guitarist, has done the jazz guitar community a great service with this fine site.”
As a jazz guitarist Curt performs in and around the Philadelphia area solo and in a variety of duo and trio settings.
As a ukulele player Curt has performed and given workshops at several annual ukulele festivals across the US including Indianapolis, New York City, Los Angeles, and Baltimore.
