Shannon Vetter & the Sleepless Pilgrims
Shannon Vetter is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Their sophomore release and full album “Holding Pattern.” was released in March of 2024. In recent years, they have collaborated with bands like: Mr Please, Vezl, Big Atomic, Solid Rock'it Boosters, Cam Clark, and Gideon’s Rifle.
Now with his own band (Shannon Vetter and the Sleepless Pilgrims) Shannon is in his element as frontman of a soul and rock seven piece. The show has the bombastic energy of a full horn section and ripping guitar solos, but also the intimacy of an honest songwriter candidly spilling their guts. Its the result of a long working career as a musician in Kentucky. It’s new and classic, rowdy and intimate, intricate and relatable, you’re gonna love it.
