Just me and JC on this one! And by JC, I mean Jerome Covington - because Jesus Christ he played all the instruments, did the engineering and produced the tunes!!! He also put up with my spastic humor, horrifying guitar playing and the continual "what if we did this?..." Check out more of Jerome at http://jeromecovington.com and http://www.myspace.com/jeromecovington
I also need to tell you about the stellar Elena Moon Park on the violin ("Stay Whole" and "Rollercoaster Girl" - the girl can play!!!
And the page would be mediocre without pictures by Steven Sunshine, Photographer extraordinaire!! See more of his awesome work at http://sunshinepics.com/!

I've been playing some of these songs for about ten years, in my room, alone. I've loved hearing them come alive with layers, textures and melodies. Thank you, Jerome Covington - I do worship you and your brilliance. This is the first project I have done as a solo artist. I am happily terrified :)

Hey Shannon! I'm just letting you know that you are on Fame Games 170Q show today!!!!! You have such a beautiful voice. I bet you pack them in in NYC!! I couldn't imagine :) Anyways, below is the link so that you can let your friends, family and fans know!!!! Take care, can't wait to hear whats next...
So after a couple of weeks listening to your disc I sit here wondering why these songs aren't being heard on a larger scale. Gorgeous Stories & Rollercoaster Girl should be hit singles in their own rights. Plus there's something about Grow Up that makes it stick in my head for days at a time. Usually with what I do for a living I tend to have my ipod going in some way or another for at least 3-4 hours a day. When a song like Grow Up sticks in my head after my brain is bombarded with other stuff, it proves to me that it defines the term "catchy". So I'll do my best to get the word around out here, west coast style. You have a great 2008 and keep doing what you do best!
Hey there! I love your music and I think we may be able to help each other out! I use this program called Eek Promoter that helps me get more plays each day. The best part is, the more people that use the program, the more plays everyone using it gets in return! You should definitely check it out!
Can you tell me why you are not selling out venues with the likes of Fiona Apple and Bonnie Raitt opening for you? Shannon you still have it, and you know how goofy I was about your stuff. Plus I backed you for a couple of years so I should know! Oh, and about the "old" thing..? You should know some get old while others only get better. You fall into the latter category. Tell Prince he's old.
Shannon - My brilliant, talented and seriously modest friend is finally cutting her solo cd. I can't wait to buy it, listen to it and rave about it. Good luck. Love Lynne xxx
