Sharon Shannon

Sharon Shannon is one of the shyest musicians I have ever seen grace the stage. She seems reluctant to make eye contact with the audience as though catching their eye would turn her to stone. Listen to her music and you immediately forgive her any sensibilities. Sharon's music speaks volumes. She has one the respect of many a great musician and was, for a while, the only female Waterboy.
Such is the respect of other musicians, Sharon has managed to build a number of supergroups around herself, the current being no exception.
There are some artists that command the stage with their presence, Sharon Shannon is more subtle she reaches out in a quiet unassuming way until you realise that she's got a hold on your soul. Moody and expressive, Sharon Shannon draws on a number of folk styles in order to fully captivate..
