I first noticed California-based singer/songwriter Shannon Curtis when she released her 2007 EP "Boomerangs & Seesaws" and I've been a fan ever since. Shannon show herself to be a exceptional songwriter, and goes the gamut from torch song, to dramatic ballad, to joyous love song. Lately her music has had a more electronic edge to it, and she uses it to good effect as an accent to her already amazing songwriting and vocal prowess.
"Brightest Light In The Room", "Book Of Fiction" and her most recent release "Let's Stay In" are all incredible, emotional songs and I can't recommend them enough. Of course, that's not to say her earlier works aren't also amazing. Personal favorites are "Boomerangs & Seesaws" and "Get Outta Town"
To accomplish everything that she's done without the benefit of a record label is a testament to both her talent and her drive. She also tours often so you should really check out a show if she's playing near by (I've only had the good fortune to see her once, due to bad scheduling luck on my end)
Shannon is now offering pre-orders for the mega-singles for "Let's Stay In" not only do you get the original song, you get several re-mixes, a b-side and a really special treat for a lucky buyer. One of the singles will have a "golden ticket" which is redeemable for a custom song written and recorded for the winner by Shannon herself. That's too good to pass up!
Please check out her music on her Official Site and iTunes and follow her on Facebook and Twitter
