Editorial Reviews

Singer/Songwriter Shannon Moore has been compared to The Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde, Aimee Mann, KT Tunstall and Sheryl Crow to name a few, but ultimately has a style all her own. Shannon defiantly knows how to deliver a song and captivate an audience. Born and raised in Houston, Shannon received her first guitar at the age of 10 and completed her first song When It Rains by the age of twelve. Shannon's first band, Deep Julia, toured the States and Canada extensively and racked up considerable critical acclaim. Their popularity landed them the opening act for Radiohead, Peter Frampton and Jewel to name a few. They also headlined in the majority of the top Vancouver clubs and venues. A full album never materialized and Shannon and the band soon went their separate ways. Shannon is a stunning songwriter because she wraps a rich tapestry of truth with her lyrics and keeps her haunting and powerful voice tinged with a knowing sense of humor and honesty. As the first artist to be signed to the Singer/Songwriter label 10 Spot, Moore's debut release Evaporate will be available in March 2007. "Shannon truly possesses all the ingredients needed for stardom... Moore is above all a top-flight songwriter...for her to remain in obscurity, as merely a songwriter would be a crime. No one could sing her personal songs with such conviction and passion that Moore brings forth with a searing emotional temperament." - Music Connection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music for when you want to feel connected, April 17, 2007

I love this CD and listen to it whenever I want a peaceful, at-one-with-the-world feeling. Shannon's catchy, upbeat songs are rockin' in a way that makes me feel connected - with her, with other women, with what's happening in my world. Her slower numbers are quiet meditations that are a wonderful combination of simple & complex - they say so much, in such an accessible way. One reviewer said her music is "easy", but I think "accessible" is a better description, because this is not "easy listening" - it's good, solid, rock-n-roll from a woman's perspective - think Aimee Mann & Chrissy Hynde with a Venice Beach vibe. Go get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Listening Middle-of-the-Road Rock, March 17, 2007

In a world dominating by the pop and fizz of modern pop and punk driven radio, I find it more than a bit refreshing to find an easy-to-listen middle-of-the-road rockin' woman like Shannon Moore, whose sound reminds me of some of The Pretenders more introspective work. With an opening track like "Evaporate" it's clear that she wants to find her spot and simply blend in a bit -- while it's a metaphor for joining with another person it certainly also identifies a quality in her music. Most of her lyrics are based on metaphors -- calling a lover a mirage in "Quicksand," "Speed of Light" as the journey of life and relationships -- and they're founded in life and living relationships. "Angels Talk" is a wonderful easy celebration of finding contentment in the love of another, and what amazes me most is how easy (yeah, I think I've used the word three times now!) her sound is. While other divas are harping to impress you with the range and power of their voice, Shannon seeks out her epiphanies in the subtle range of emotions evoked in her vocals. This isn't the kind of disc you're gonna blare thru the speakers; this is, simply, just great to listen to.

I had the pleasure of meeting the artist recently and decided to check out her website [...] ...you should too. Listen to the samples. I was instantly hooked and could not "Let it Go."
Great sound, poignant lyrics...I've read some comparisons to Sheryl Crowe or Chrissy Hynde, if that helps. Seriously, listen and decide for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
