Shannon Linton is an indie songwriter with a powerful voice and stories to tell.
After narrowly avoiding a career in opera, she began performing and recording her own songs inspired by artists like Ani Difranco, Sarah Harmer and Carsie Blanton who aren’t afraid to speak the truth.
Shannon’s debut EP, In Spite of Everything, was released in 2022. She has played the Blue Skies Festival, Cultivate Festival, Hibernate Festival, and has opened for artists such as the Lemon Bucket Orkestra and the Angelique Francis Band. Her song At the End of the World has been played on CBC radio.
Shannon writes a weekly newsletter, Joy Just Because, and is passionate about building her local artistic community and championing young artists. You can listen to her music on Bandcamp or wherever you stream music.
