Born and raised on the south shore of Long Island, Shannon McNally's earliest musical inspiration came from her father, a Hemingway-esque bartender-fisherman who later became a private eye. He would sing her to sleep with bar songs and blues lullabies. "He didn't know many songs, but he was a very natural singer and it's that ease that he had that I aim for when I sing," Shannon says. >> |

| The best American songwriters create tunes that transcend time and space, with lyrics that intimately connect with listeners far and wide. It's an art, but it's also a craft, one that often takes years to hone. Sometimes, though, an artist emerges fully formed, with the chops and tunes of a sage old vet; Shannon McNally, is one of those artists. Jukebox Sparrows is an utterly fearless 11-song debut with a heart at its center that beats with passion and candor. >> |
