Biography
Shannon McNally is a soulful singer and an entrancing songwriter. Drawing on the defiant spirits of outlaws and visionaries such as Jesse James, Susan B. Anthony, Little Richard, she takes her listeners on a timeless and haunting journey through her self-coined North American Ghost Music on her new album ‘GERONIMO.’ 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 moved to New Orleans several years ago, and the city’s musical flavor is evident in her striking, incisive songs.
Recorded during a hot 14-day summer run at Dockside Studios, deep in Louisiana’s bayou country, ‘GERONIMO’ (out June 28 on Back Porch/EMI) finds McNally walking proudly among singularly likeminded artists: J.J. Cale, Jerry Garcia, and The Band. “I understand that music is entertainment, but I’m not entertained by smoke and mirrors. I’m entertained by substance, tone, and a solid groove,” says Shannon.Her songwriting reached a pinnacle for the new album; Shannon’s literate songs inhabit a range of characters, many downtrodden and disaffected. “I write in the folk tradition,” she says, “like Woody Guthrie, ballads and things that are universal in style.” She also references the work of Bruce Springsteen, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, and John Steinbeck. The fearless songwriter is not afraid to use words like “castigate” and “perpetual” when they fit the songs. Remarkably, Shannon never hides her influences, but she never sounds exactly like them either.
