𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐲
𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐧𝐢: 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟕-𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎
Billed under her name, 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐲 brings a voice that is expressive, grounded, and instantly connective. Her Sound Waves performances have always felt personal - easy rapport, strong presence, and a natural way of drawing the audience in.
Equally central to this story is 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐎𝐒𝐎𝐒, whose musical leadership and long-standing relationship with Sound Waves runs even deeper. Chris introduced Shauna to the series, and he and his band returned repeatedly in the early years—helping shape the Sound Waves sound and community long before it became a decade-long tradition.
While Shauna leads the billing, the spirit of the evening reflects years of shared history and musical trust—artists who know how to step forward, step back, and build a night together.

#𝐌𝐲𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
During COVID, when the stage disappeared and the city went quiet, Friday Night Sound Waves found another way to gather. We took the series to the airwaves—bringing live music into people’s living rooms as part of a Find Your Beach moment that reminded everyone why music still mattered.
Shauna Sweeney and Chris Monteleone shared the night online, each performing from home and passing the baton between sets. In between, we stitched together video clips so the audience never lost the thread—moving from one space to another, still connected.
It was also during this time that Shauna wrote a COVID anthem, “Happy Thank You Yes More Please.” We invited her friends and several FNSW alumni musicians to record their parts from home and wove them together into a single, collaborative performance—keeping the music alive, the community visible, and the spirit of music moving forward when we needed it most.
