About Me |

Shannon McNally calls her music 'North American Ghost Music'. Armed with a spine tingling voice, easy inner beauty, and songs that linger, she almost makes you wish she’d rob your bank. The native New Yorker lived in New Orleans for a long time but has settled in North Mississippi after Katrina washed her up there. “I understand that music is entertainment, but I’m not entertained by smoke and mirrors and I have a bad habit of being the first to laugh at the Emperor's new clothes,” says Shannon. “I write in the folk tradition,” she says, “like Woody Guthrie, ballads and things that are universal in style.” Shannon never hides her influences, but she never sounds exactly like them either. Her biggest influences are J.J. Cale, Doctor John, Bob Dylan and the Band. McNally was born on Long Island, New York on St. Patrick’s Day March of 1973. Citing early influences such as Jim Henson, Uncle Remus, The Yellow Submarine, and Star Wars, McNally’s sensibilities were shaped by the events and imaginations of the day. She graduated from the same high school in Freeport, NY on Long Island that produced such folk heroes as Lenny Bruce, Lou Reed, and Run DMC. After high school she went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Anthropology at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Her debut album released in January of 2002, Jukebox Sparrows (Capitol Records), garnered rave reviews and revealed itself as a surprisingly confident musical and lyrical debut for such a young songwriter. Her debut album inspired Rolling Stone to liken her to “a young Mick Jagger.” Rolling Stone Magazine gave it 3 1/2 stars. It also spawned the AAA radio hit “Now That I Know,” which also appeared on the ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ soundtrack. McNally has toured with Willie Nelson, Stevie Nicks, John Mellencamp, Charlie Sexton,Son Volt, Ryan Adams, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Rail Road Earth and Rufus Wainwright. She has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Her discography includes 7 titles. (Bolder Than Paradise (EP), Jukebox Sparrows (LP), Ran On Pure Lightening (EP), Run For Cover (LP), Geronimo (LP), North American Ghost Music Live (LP), South Side Sessions (EP) The Southside Sessions EP .......................
