Concert: Shanna in a Dress

Shanna in a Dress is your quirky best friend who refuses to wear pants. She says what
everyone has felt but no one else will say and you'll get an uncensored journey of clever
humor and heartbreak, extreme candor, and a hefty side of entertainment at her shows.
This witty wordsmith is known for taking you on an emotional roller coaster, sometimes
within the same song. Think John Prine mixed with Ingrid Michaelson with a twist of
Phoebe Buffay from Friends all wrapped up in a sweet voice accented by guitar, piano, and
ukulele. She's as real as it gets, as anyone who follows her on FB or Instagram knows.
Shanna started her career at the University of Virginia, fell in love with Boulder, Colorado,
and now keeps her fun music flowing out of Nashville unless she's touring the US or
Europe. You can't get the same Shanna in a Dress show twice with her spontaneous banter
and playful stage presence. She manages to teeter the line masterfully of taking on complex
subject matters with smart, bold, and yet accessible lyrics. Her charisma and boldly honest
songs are full of interesting language and wordplay and delight audiences of all ages.
Most recently, Shanna in a Dress was pronounced the winner of the Rocky Mountain Folks
Fest Songwriting Contest and she returned to perform on the main stage with a full band at
the 2023 Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. In 2020 alone, Shanna was a winner in
the Kerrville New Folk competition, winner of the Great River Folk Fest Song Competition, a
finalist at Songwriter Serenade, and a Grassy Hill Emerging Artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk
Festival.

During the summer of 2021, Shanna bicycled from Seattle to Boston while music-touring on
her epic "Tour de Dress," playing over 60 shows from coast to coast and partnering up with
the global non-profit Pangaea World Foundation.

In May 2022, her debut record "Robot" was released after a wildly successful crowdfunded
campaign years earlier. She has most recently been seen gracing the stages of Kerrville
Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Black Bear Americana Fest, Great River Folk
Fest, and the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. Tom Prasada-Rao calls her "Kerrville's fastest
rising star" and she's certainly delightfully unique and is one to watch in the future.
Shanna’s second album, Sweet Spot will be released on February 27.
