Shannon and Jamie are bringing their "synthpop + joy" extravaganza to xBk Live for its Des Moines debut!
"Combining elements of concerts, TED Talks and visual art, the show places the album's 1980s-inspired synthpop numbers in the context of what inspired them: climate change, rising fascism, and Curtis's anxiety about — and hope for — the future." — Emily Hamilton, Seven Days VT
How will empathetic people survive the troubles of this time? How do we rescue our overburdened spirits from overlapping disasters such as rising fascism and climate collapse? And from where can we summon the power to heal ourselves, our communities, and the planet?
These are the animating questions behind Shannon Curtis’s new album and show Good to Me — a song journey that took Curtis through a practice of identifying failed coping mechanisms (“From the Inside Out”), coming to terms with radical acceptance (“Be With What Is”), learning to trust her inner truth (“The Silent Sea”), and reconnecting to her serenity and power (“I Am”) — even as the world continued to burn.

Shannon Curtis asks what’s currently on a billion minds: How will empathetic people survive? How do we rescue our overburdened spirits from disasters like fascism and climate collapse? Curtis's genre-defying synthpop performance piece Good to Me promises to bring joy, even as she stares down the worst the world has to offer. “If you’ve been feeling like your tank is a little low,” she says, “this show is for you.” — Addie Mahmassani, East Bay Express

"A unique and inspiring performance, and a welcome change from the traditional concert experience." — Marq Manner, Omaha Buzz

"How do you stare down dark times? For Shannon Curtis, the answer was making a shimmering 80s-inspired synthpop album about the relentless, interwoven, swirling chaos we’ve made of the world." — John O'Neil, The Record Exchange Boise
