AMERICAN MYSTIC

"Modern folk guitarist, vocalist, and song crafter John Shannon believes in the power of music to enlighten the mind. Having already toured the globe with some of the brightest rising stars in indie rock, folk, and jazz, including Sonya Kitchell , Haale and Hiromi , Shannon's solo work has taken him on a journey into his own soul and beyond. Starting with an exploratory meditation trip in the southwestern desert some years ago, John Shannon discovered his unique, tender voice, inspired by the openness of American landscapes, and translated it into his debut solo album, a subtle masterpiece called American Mystic." http://www.myspace.com/johnshannonmusic
