Description
Hailing from the North Yorkshire National Park, Anna Shannon deeply embraces all things rustic. On hearing her compositions it is clear that the wonders of the natural world are the things that strongly colour her narratives.
She is an immensely skilled multi-tasker, a creative and strikingly accomplished singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, arranger and designer, with her own definite, intense vision and a strong musical identity to match. Anna is carrying on a musical tradition, finding fresh meaning and relevance for us all in the old ways. Anna was born into a musical family but it wasn't until in her early twenties that she discovered the folk scene.
2006 saw her first album "The Whale Dreaming" being released after being encouraged by winning BBC Radio "Yorkshire Songwriter of the Year". Her latest sees her forging a strong path into the heart of today's folk club and festival circuit.
