Project By
Connected as Shannon McNally (3862 friends)
Having been recently been nominated for Off Beat Magazine's 'Best Roots Rock Artist' and 'Best Roots Rock Album' awards, for her last full length cd 'Western Ballad', McNally seems to have turned a corner. She possesses an immediately identifiable voice that is known to send shivers down the spines of the even the most jaded music junkies. She has centered herself in the deep waters of the American songwriter tradition without becoming predictable or boring. She has done this by aligning with rock and roll dignitary producers such as Jim Dickinson, Charlie Sexton, Mac Rebennack and Mark Bingham. She was nominated in 2011 for the Best Traditional Folk Grammy for her contribution to Luther Dickinson and the Sons Of Mudboy album 'Onward and Westward'. She is a fully independent and self funded artist with a strong penchant for the road.
Dear Shannon
I'm so excited. The package has arrived! Great music. I love it. Congratulations! The songbook will help me to play along with my guitar. I'm not very goog at it (unfortantely) but still: it makes me happy! Great! Isn't it? Thank you. I wish you a lot of success.

Shannon,
Sounds like you are really busy but enjoying yourself ! Best of luck with the project and the tour dates.I really look forward to hearing the new c.d.
Regards
Geoff
Congradulations on the Western Ballad project! What a success. Can't wait to hear the new cd. I've been waiting to receive my copy...As an artist myself I love the democracy of Kickstarter. Look forward to seeing you guys live again. Shannon you project great integrity (you're pretty darn adorable too). Someday I'm going to pony up $1500 and have you guys over for a house concert...
Dear Shannon
I love your music. Coldwater is amazing. I'm looking forward to your new Project. Two songs I like very much are Lovely and Bohemian Wedding Song.
René from Switzerland
Hi Shannon - Thanks for giving fans a great way to get involved and support your work. I pledged for the songbook, but didn't see where to indicate my two favorites... I think I'd choose "Pale Moon" and "Lovely."
Hi Shannon,
We lived on the same hall Freshman year in College. Love your music! Looking forward to the new album. Hope you make it to Boston to perform.
Laurel
Hi Shannon,
Love your music and your whole gang. Was an awesome experience seeing you in Taos, NM this summer and getting a private acoustic serenade after the show of two special request songs. THANKS AGAIN!! You made our 4 hr trip spectacular and unforgettable. Can't wait to see you again. Really want to do the obvious follow up- House Concert! Thanks for keeping the opportunity open for us to make it happen. We went to the Telluride Blues n Brews Fest this fall and kept imagining how great it would be to see you on that venue. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to the songbook. Any guesses to my 2?
Gratefully,
Ricky

Dear Shannon, I just bought the songbook and cannot wait to get it. My 2 favorite songs are:

Thank you so much.
Mirjam from Zurich Switzerland
Awesomely inspiring, as always. We're proud of you. xo Antigone Rising (Kristen, Cathy, Dena and Nini)
Shannon, The new album is going to be great. Both of the new songs, Memory of a Ghost and 'Tristess Oublie' , that you have shared with us are 2 of my new favorite Shannon McNally songs. Debbie and I were up and dancing to 'Tristess Oublie', the moment we played it. Sadness forgotten indeed. See ya real soon.
Hey Shannon! I love the new song! I love all of your music and I can't wait to hear the new album! Also, congrats on reaching your goal. This is the first time I've ever "backed" anything and it's a complete honor. Really hoping to see in you in NYC again soon!
excellent! love the new song.. really looking forward to the album!
Hello Shannon,
Love Geronimo ("The Hard Way" being a favorite) and Coldwater (("lonesome, ornery and mean" being a favorite) .......... but especially loved hearing you perform live two times at Sellersville Theater in Pa. Happy to help fund your new project and hoping to have you return to Sellersville soon!
Shannon, Can't wait to hear the new album. See you &
Wallace soon at the Blues & BBQ festival. Cheers!
Shannon, Congratulations on reaching your initial goal. I'm sure the enthusiasm and momentum will continue. Folks really want to hear your music.
Congrats! Shannon! You (we) did it!
So glad to see that your goal will be reached early! I really hope that if any of the house parties you play are in Southern California you can play other shows here too. Please post if you do! :)
come back and play molly malone's like the good ol' days.
Ms. McNally, I've loved your music since "Jukebox Sparrows." Are you all ever going to perform near Washington, DC (the Birchmere in Alexendria, VA would be a great venue)?
I pledged for the handwritten songbook, but I didn't see a spot on the pledge form for the two choices. Mine are "Down and Dirty" and "Bolder Than Paradise."
Thanks! And for the great songs!
Hey, Shannon, you certainly make my ears happy! I pledged for the songbook but didn't see where to indicate the 2 fav songs -- which is not an easy thing to decide -- but I'll take Leave Your Bags by the Door, Down & Dirty, and Weathervane as 3rd. (btw, I grew up in East Meadow... fwiw)

Hi Shannon
Love your music, saw you in Taos this summer. Look forward to the new release!

Hello Shannon, I like your way to release your new record with this fund. To count on your own power and creativity is much better than to be depended from an unpersonal record company.
Wish you much luck and success. And I will be pleased when your signed vinyl will arrive me.
Greetings from Germany, Otfried.
