Shannon McNally is one of the most remarkable artists to ever play the Blue Door. Her great 2013 album "Small Town Talk: The Songs Of Bobby Charles" is a tour de force of singer meets songwriter, as she blends Charles' sassy with his sentimental on songs that defy time and description. Dr. John and Vince Gill guest on this timeless collection. Shannon is also a wonderful songwriter as her many albums attest. Thom Jurek at All Music said it best, "Only Gram Parsons' term "Cosmic American Music" begins to touch her mercurial, changeling roots aesthetic, ... McNally is a Zen-like, post-Beat song poet”. For those who have followed McNally’s nearly twenty year career the thing that most sticks with the listener about her, is the timeless effortlessness that she brings to all she does. With a long catalog and longer list of peers with whom she has written, recorded and toured, McNally continues to turn out great music that defies blatant genre-fication.
At home across the American (Americana) music spectrum, the Grammy nominee who’s live music career began on the jam band circuit of the 1990’s with bands like Robert Randolph and Derek Trucks, writes as well as she interprets the songs of others, has a top tier musicality to her craft, a soul stirring voice that immediately grabs one by the heart strings and a troubadour’s wanderlust, not to mention as it turns out, she is also an excellent electric guitar player.
