Wowee! I usually don't enter contests because it seems like it's always based on popularity instead of the quality of music but because I love the concept of Lilith Fair I had to enter. But then I forgot that I entered. And now I was reminded  :)) If you do care to vote, it's kind of a fun process. The best way is to vote head-to-head (you need to REGISTER first) and it will take you through all the songs that are entered in the competition, which ends May 23rd. Go here:

    Just a quick note to let you know I'm back in L.A. Ben and I drove across the country (from Nashville) in 3 days! In two separate cars. And not ONCE did I fall asleep. Yes, I was truly a road warrior and did not give in to my narcoleptic tendencies (which I have been known to do- check out the song "Life is Strange" by my alter ego band Lovers and Poets- it's an autobiographical tune about a spill I took in South Park, CO where I flipped my car over the edge of a small mountain and somehow survived).


    The day after getting settled into our new apartment I recorded keyboard parts for Michelle Carter-Leis's new album at Michael Woodrum's studio. Keep an eye out for this talented Canadian chanteuse. I promise you, good things are on the horizon for her! 


   This has been a challenging year for me, with the loss of my grandmother and my mother within three months of each other. I really appreciate all the support from friends and fans. Thank you all so much.


    Well now I am back to work on music for Lovers and Poets as well as solo stuff.  More songs coming very soon! Also, the "Songs for Haiti" compilation (ft. music by Kate Earl, Lovers and Poets, Samantha Murphy, Mike Schmid, Sierra Swan, and others) will be available any day now. 


      Love love love


           Shannon

    I just wanted to give you a quick update. I am still living it up in Saigon (and amazingly have not gained a hundred pounds from all this fabulous food). When I return stateside at the end of March,  I will be packing up and heading back to LA. 

 

    In honor of returning,  here is a video directed by Joe Camareno ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0131220/  ). It is my song "California", which will be released on my upcoming solo record, which I will be finishing upon my return to California. Guess what the album is probably going to be called? You guessed it: California.

 

      

 

     Also, I am hard at work in my studio on the debut full length record for Lovers and Poets. It's a blend of sophisticated pop and electronic music.  One of those songs will be appearing on the Songs for Haiti compilation, which features some talented artists from around the musical community. The proceeds will be going to OxfamAmerica.org .  I am so excited for you to hear these amazing songs.

   Click here for Songs for Haiti:

 

  

 

    And click here on Alex P. Keaton's face to buy my album "Ready to Wake Up":

 

  

 

 

          Alright, that's gonna do it for now! Thanks for tuning in.

The artist roster is hush-hush for now, but I promise you there are some surprises in store.
