Shannon Wurst

Songstress, Entertainer, Storyteller

"Shannon Wurst is the among the rare breed that
can make you sit upright and wonder aloud:
who is that?"
-Sing Out! Magazine

Shannon Wurst is a paradox. Although her last name may belie her abilities, this singer/songwriter's distinct voice rings true. Her style is traditional in influence, yet she adds modern day insight to her songwriting and delivery. By pairing old with new, her music has a timeless americana sound that not only strikes a chord with anyone, but also crosses genres with intrigue and ease. The pioneering spirit of Shannon's music has been compared to the likes of Emmylou Harris. (read bio)
