what folks are saying..."Shannon Cain embodies everything that comes to mind when you think of Texas and Texas Music. His music is honest, heartfelt, and passionate. Shannon is able to capture the intensity of a live show, slap it on a plastic disk and not lose an ounce of passion." Cara Miller -
Radio Free Texas-
Beaumont, TX "Shannon Cain is, without doubt, a rising star to be reckoned with. When Shannon climbs on stage, he owns it and he takes no prisoners. Song after song is packed full of energy and emotion and delivered in a way that only he can deliver. From heart wrenching songs like 'Simple Twist of Fate' to hard driving songs like 'Already Gone', Shannon runs the entire gamut. My suggestion: Run--don’t walk--straight to wherever Shannon is performing. You’ll be glad that you did. Your ears will thank you."
Gary Hays
Hays Entertainment-Nashville, TN "He could be country music's next big thing.... His impressive voice and foot-tapping rhythms proved to be a huge hit during a recent visit to the Tampa Bay area, winning Shannon new fans and a great deal of respect amongst many of the Bay area's top folk and country performers. It's clear Shannon is a shooting star and Nubzilla's Café is thrilled to be one of his stops on his way to the top."Nubzilla's Cafe-Tampa, Florida

Stopping by to show some love! So I will be doing fittings this week in Nashville!! Hit me up today if you are interested in talking biz on in-ears, custom plugs, etc.
Hey, I saw your group sitting at the "high top table" at my show. I got ready to call you up and when I looked over y'all were gone. You had told me you couldn't stay long, sorry I didn't get you up before you had to leave. Maybe next time!! I do apologize!!! Jan
Shannon, you've got it going on my friend. It was a blast playing the radiofreetexas.org show last week with you. Your only flaw was an intermittent guitar cable, it certainly wasn't your voice, songs or picking. --jam
I'm filling up August dates for the acoustic showcases known as Frisky Summer Nights... Good Music a must...clothing optional... who's in? Thursdays in Franklin, TN msg me for more info
I meant to publicly say that you were the best emcee EVER at the CD release show. In case someone is behind the times, and hasn't heard, they should know - you're the coolest person ever. You + Danell + Me = More Mexican Food when I get back off the road. Hugs.
Hi Shannon! How are you doing? Just got back from Nashville, Colleen and I got married!! Moving to Nashville this fall! I hope the music business is going well for you! All the best, Peter
