Singer/songwriter Shannon Wright hails from Atlanta, Georgia. She just released her third record on Touch & Go.
Current fixations:
"Introduction To Film" book, and funyons.
Mind-altering work of art:
Beckett.
Most memorable or inspirational gig and why?
My babysitter took me to see Van Halen. It was most memorable because I got bombarded by a stranger (I was 11 ) who picked me up and used me as a shield to get to the front of the stage. Once he got us to the stage he took off leaving me in front of Eddie Van Halen where I longed for the water fountain.
