   About Sarah Shannon
Sarah Shannon here. Some of you might remember me as the lead singer of the semi-lauded indie-pop darlings Velocity Girl. I can't seem to stop singing. I tried. Physically impossible. I made a solo record a few years back that people seemed to like. Some were surprised by the u-turn I took from the sound of VG. I can't say it was intentional, those songs just seemed to boil up and out of me. I have a new record, City Morning Song, out now on Minty Fresh. I can't tell you how happy I am to be on this label. They are supreme facilitators of superior music and I am honored to be added to their ranks. I'm still interested in old school pop song writing (Carole King, Carly Simon, Burt B., Smokey R., Randy Newman etc.) and making pretty noises with my throat. My newest continues along the lines of the first but with (I hope) stronger songwriting and a more optimistic outlook. My current hero is RUFUS WAINWRIGHT. I'm a sick puppy when it comes to this man. I have listened to Poses so many times that I imagine big broadway production numbers with each of the songs (set, costumes, choreography, I'm not kidding). I have put together a band here in Seattle after taking a very long haitus from playing live. They are an extremely talented bunch and playing with them is a great joy. It is no easy feat to get me feeling confident, comfortable and (yes indeed!) joyful if front of an audience but these guys have done just that. Come see for yourself.

My friend Matt wrote this for our High School poetry publication in '93. He mentions me in it. You have probably already seen it though. If not I hope you get a kick out of it. A letter from a fan...
Sarah Shannon
Sarah Shannon is a goddess.
She's the best thing since sliced bread
If She would let me, with a ring I would wed.
My heart beats for her, my love for her gushes.
If I knew where she lived, I'd stalk her with night vision goggles from her bushes.
I love her more than Saturday morning cartoons,
I love her more than Strawberry Boones.
I love her more than Captain Crunch,
I love her more than Bob Big Boy's Sunday Brunch.
Sarah Shannon is my hero.
I love her more than even F-Zero.
I love her more than anything nerf.
I love her more than Papa Smurf.
I love her more than Star Wars.
I love her more than chocolate, caramels and nugget candy bars.
She's worth more to me than anything of Madonna's.
I love her more than my race car footsie pajamas.
I love her more than Rasco Pico.
I love her more than Richard Greico.
I love her more than even Yoda,
I love her more than A&W Cream Soda.
I think she's smarter than MacGyver,
i'd give my left arm just to be by her.
I love her more than Sour Apple Blow Pops.
I love her more than my mom's stuffed pork chops.
I love her more than B.A. Barakus
I love her more than Michael Dukakis.
For her I'd put on a pig nose, and squeal and snort,
I love her more than People's Court.
I love her more than Joey Lawrence.
I love her more than my wacky Aunt Florence.
If she asked me to I'd drive into Mt. St. Helens
She has nicer hair than Doug LewEllen.
I'd rather watch her than Evil Dead II
I love her more than Winnie The Pooh.
My friend Mark loves her too,
But not nearly as much as I do.

-A. Nonymous

Sarah - thanks for adding me! I stumbled across "City Morning Song" while reading up on Velocity Girl, and I have to say it's become one of my favorite albums, ever. It was completely not what I expected, but a very pleasant surprise! Great pure pop awesomeness.

Keep up the great work. You are wonderfully talented and made something really lovely. Thank you for sharing it!
