   About Shannon Rose & The Thorns

Somewhere - C'est What

Rose, the de facto heart and soul behind the rhythmic pop fusion of The Thorns, is by turns vulnerable and naive, streetwise and downright seductive, sometimes all in the same song. It's an elusive, occasionally ambiguous quality - dangerous and impulsive one second, timid and innocent the next - that comes to define the warm, sonic purr of her resplendent debut Sing Me a Song. Its sweet acoustic lustre owes as much to Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and The Beatles as it does to Morcheeba, Belle & Sebastian and Eleni Mandell. - Steve Baylin, Ottawa Xpress

Shannon Rose & The Thorns, have been laying roots in Ontario over the past year, and have just released their first album, Sing Me A Song. The CD is now available at Vertigo Records on Rideau, and at Compact Music in the Glebe. It can also be purchased online, from www.shannonroseandthethorns.com.

These songs were recorded at Bova Sound.

Hey Shannon!

I have a funny story about those sparklers... actually it's not that funny - I was in the-middle-of-no-where, Ontario doing an environmental assessment and to kill time one night we bought these MONSTROUSly large sparkelers from GT Boutique.. they were much fun. I attempted to spell my name out with them to be photographed but it didn't work out.. your heart is pretty.
