A working class soul.
A ten pound steel guitar.
A voice dripping of nostalgia.
Writing and recording as a solo artist since 2014 has led to the release of albums including Medicine (2020), Live. In House (2021) and recent studio release, Rust Don’t Shine.
Every live performance exposes parallels between his personal journey and the American experience, no matter the size of stage.
Each song, a story to further develop the focus on the benefits and struggles that come with small town rural life.
“Shanna in a Dress combines witty, heartfelt songwriting with great musicianship guaranteed to deliver a memorable experience for anyone lucky enough to hear her. From the incredibly moving “Daddy’s Little Girl” to the super funny “Mmm That’s Hot” she hits home on every level taking her listeners on a delightful roller coaster ride of laughter, tears and everything in between.”
— Steve Seskin, Grammy-nominated songwriter
