Taking his listeners on an emotional journey is Shannon Grady's goal and they are happy to go with him. A storyteller in the vein of Damien Rice and Iron and Wine, Shannon has been weaving his tapestries of aural visions across two independently produced albums. After a decade honing his craft first in touring bands and then as a solo artist on the Minneapolis club scene, he released "10 Years", his first album, in 2006. This well-received collection of tales led to invitations to appear on podcasts, indie radio and at the Bearapalooza festivals in Nashville and Florida where he was an instant fan favorite.
His adventures and the people he met along the way fueled the new songs and stories that resulted in 2007's "It Was A Dance". The excitement was so great that he gathered four fellow bear artists and formed the highly successful "Bears On The Run" tour which earned rave reviews in their 12-city trek across the south and midwest in the fall of 2007. Now they're doing it again as the second leg of the tour takes them to the northeast in the spring of 2008. Shannon is poised to share his stories with fans old and new. Release yourself, join him on his journey and be ready for the ride of your life.

Twin Cities Cross Promotions Network and Robbie Lee, BeatMD would like cordially invite you to a very special Easter Sunday edition of sTEAp! Additionally, this will be the final going away party for our dear friend Ms. Jen Hustler, as she makes her move to beautiful San Diego, California! WE WILL MISS YOU HUSSIE!
Easter sTEAp takes place Sunday, April 12, 2009 from 5pm-10pm at the Caterpillar Lounge, located on 26th & Nicollet in Minneapolis. Many of you are already very familiar with this space and I hope you will be able to attend! This is a new venture for the Caterpillar Lounge, as they have yet to actually have a afternoon dance/social session! The weather forecast says it will be a mild spring day, with temps in the mid-50's. Let's show the Caterpillar Lounge how we like our Sunday Afternoon recovery sessions! IN STYLE!
DJ Jam E-Z will kick off the event with a 2-hour vinyl set from 5pm-7pm and I (Robbie Lee, BeatMD) will take over the mills from 7pm-10pm. Who knows, I may even decide to bring some vinyl treats myself, if I can stand carrying the extra 50lbs of music! (LOL) Regardless, you will be certain to hear the sounds that take you underground and into the depths of the doctor!
Finally, if you do plan to attend, please feel free to invite those friends who you hold near and dear. Without you and yours, Twin Cities Cross Promotion Network cannot make this event a success. It takes a village to raise a child and you all are part of this village!
All My Love and Beats are meant for you & you & you &...
rXXX, Robbie Lee, BeatMD
