Hello from the VW Jetta on Interstate 80 between Des Moines and Iowa City, the third and final time we’ve traveled this stretch of road on this tour! My first -ever trip to IC tonight was fun, and last night’s show in DSM was so good, it’s poised to be a highlight of the tour when all the dates are done. … But I dare the rest of the tour itinerary to challenge it’s status. Let’s see what you’ve got!

It’s been such a great pleasure to play the last four shows with Roxi Copland. She and I aren’t done yet: tomorrow night we’re headed to Kansas City and later this month we’ll rendezvous in Chicago (Nov 21, to be exact). Check out the rad photo of her opening tonight’s show in Iowa City.

I hope you all are well and happy. I’m having so much fun seeing old friends and making new ones every day out here. Thank you for all the love and support. It’s as essential to me as the gas in my tank to keep this train a-rollin’.

Lots of love — shannon

I woke up in a Halloweenie winter wonderland this morning in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Man! I love visiting that place. And last night’s show there was probably the best one yet in Boulder, thanks to all of you who came and brought tons of new people for me to meet. And special thanks to Jenny who gave us a cozy bed and homemade bread!

Next stop: Madison on Monday night! Check the tour page for all the deets. I’ll be playing with Madison’s Stephanie Rearick.

Long drive across the snowy plains today, the Rocky Mountains receding in the rear view. Definitely a treat, not a trick.

Lots of love — shannon

Hi friends!

I’ve been on a bit of a brain vacation the last month or so. Sorry I’ve been out of touch, but I’ve been doing some really cool things like, for instance, getting married! I have been relishing the last month at home with my new husband and our garden and our kitchen and it’s been wonderful.

But by the end of this month, I’ll be back out on the road to visit you on an eight week tour, and I’m looking forward to that as well. Check out the tour schedule for new dates being added daily and let me know when I’ll be seeing YOU!

In the meantime, check out this awesome review of my Hotel Cafe show in LA at the end of the summer tour. Thanks, LA Music Blog. :)

I’ll be in touch soon. I hope y’all are well. Lots of love –shannon

I had a great time this morning with the nice folks at News10’s Sacramento & Co. See for yourself!

And if you’re in Sacramento, come on out to the LAST SHOW of the summer tour! Friday evening at Cesar Chavez Plaza in downtown Sac. Show starts at 5pm, I’ll be hitting the stage at 6:30. Hope to see you there!

I’m in a hotel room in Memphis as I write and looking forward to making a little tourist stop to the Stax Museum tomorrow morning before the drive to St. Louis. Oh, baby! :)

I hope y’all are well.

Hey, everybody!

Last night was just an awesome day. Thank you to everybody who came out in New York city — at Best Buy in the afternoon and at Rockwood Music Hall last night — for the shows. So fun!! And to top it off, it was one of those days and nights in New York that make you believe it’s paradise — walking around in my dress in the balmy nighttime air, the whole world walking by me on the street. It was SO much fun. Can’t wait to do it again.

Next stop: Northern Virginia and the DC area. See you there!

The tour has been going GREAT so far. Thanks to all of you who have come out and sent your people my way! Thank you SO MUCH!

This just in: I’m doing a house concert in Boston on Thursday, August 6th with Robert Gillies. Check all the deets here.

New York! Confirmed just yesterday: I’ll be doing an in-store performance at Best Buy in NYC at 23rd St. and 6th Ave. at 2pm on Friday, August 7th, a few hours before my FREE 7pm show at Rockwood Music Hall (love songs on a baby grand, baby!).

And St. Louis! Check this out: Friday, August 14th at The Gramophone! I’m doing a show with Wendy Jans from Nashville. This is a great venue and it’s going to be a really fun show. Mark your calendars and get on the horn to start inviting your friends!

See y’all real soon
