Shannon Butcher is quickly becoming a favourite on the Canadian jazz
scene for her dynamic voice and fresh spirit. "Jazz isn’t about one
label or style; it’s not about one person or time," says Butcher.
"It’s about the freedom to bring together all of your experiences;
sing in the moment and connect with your audience."
Shannon's debut CD, Words We Both Could Say, is a fusion of styles and
an open door invitation to transcend expectations. Through her unique
jazz transformations of “standards” from artists including the
Beatles, Patsy Cline and No Doubt, the Toronto artist has connected
with jazz aficionados and new listeners alike. Since its release,
Words We Both Could Say has reached the 2 spot on the Canadian Campus
Jazz chart and broke through the Top Ten of iTunes Top Jazz Albums.
Thanks to her Internet presence Shannon has become a hit on jazz
stations in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Closer to home, the album has become a regular spin on CBC,
Rochester's Jazz90.1 and Toronto’s JazzFM91. Visit www.shannonbutcher.com

I'm Canadian and I wrote this LOL I LEAVE THE MUSIC TO YOU IT HAS ROOM TO GROW :)
Metaphorically Interjecting
Pools of empty water, a silently trickling stream, I sit beneath a babbling brook, I must be in a dream, Rain drops casually prancing, from with in the earth to fly, Mountains all inverted, tree's suspended from the sky, While walking in the desert, my feet begin to freeze, A psychological ice age, seems to slither on the breeze, What could this be implying' why is there no recall, When diligently sought after answers, can be found no place at all.
My thoughts assault my senses, obscure delusions of a flight, Transparent infernal retention, of augmented plights, Stifled growth, and suffocated ideals, Stagnation of the rapidly spinning wheels, Creating patterns with out structure or form, Inspired to resolve, seduced to conform, Logic void of conscience, a quest with out a goal. Coagulation of emotion's, castration of the soul,
The sting of life in memories, my innocents I miss, I beseech my eye's to falter, that I might live in bliss, I am aware of no relevance's, currently applicable to the theme, As a witness to destruction, I fight hard to quench a scream, Exchanging pain for wisdom, awareness at a cost, Profound consolations, for dream we may have lost, Mans Raine come to fruition, but our castle is torn apart, Metaphorically interjecting, from a flame frozen heart.
