Move On

Ben Shannon has no qualms scouring the current singer/songwriter repertoire and illuminating the cracks and crevices that haven't yet been sung. His songs provide refreshing perspectives on old topics in a lovely voice with well-crafted, intelligent lyrics. Songs rooted in love, in loss, and redemption make each of his performances--full band or solo--a revelation. Ben was a 2010 showcasing finalists in New York's annual Songwriting Circle competition. That year he released his self titled EP and quickly followed up with a critically acclaimed, Triple A radio friendly, full-length studio album, Move On in May of 2011. In 2012 and 2013 he was a showcasing finalist at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Colorado and a main stage performer at the Three Rivers Arts Festival in Pittsburgh. He is currently finishing his second studio release.
