Kiss N' Tell

Shannon Lee is a British Columbian singer/songwriter and musician, originally from Winnipeg, Canada. The sexy brunette has a refreshing vocal style and writes songs that are winners. Mark Collier of MMG Records says, "Shannon Lee is a very talented lady. . she has what I like to call 'The New York' sound. Shannon Lee is equally comfortable sitting at a grand piano singing jazz and blues or fronting a rock 'n roll band. Her versatility as a multi-instrumentalist, singer, dancer and actor has led to a varied and interesting career as a performer. Her many and varied musical influences include: Diana Krall, Amanda Marshall, James Taylor and Jann Arden. Shannon can belt out a rocker with the best of them but her sultry voice really shines on her pop & jazz numbers. Shannon Lee has never been content to "put all her eggs in one basket". She is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, Faculty of Medicine and can occasionally be found saving lives in the ER at a British Columbia Hospital. Shannon is also a published writer whose slice-of-life anecdotes have been featured in STITCHES - the Journal of Medical Humour. If you know a doctor, check out his October 2003 issue of "Stitches" for a write up about Shannon in the ON CALL feature. During medical school, Shannon enjoyed playing in the cover band "ISIS". "It was a great way to let off a little steam. Medical students tend to take life way too seriously," she laughs. Now that the "education hurdle" is over, Shannon intends to get really serious about her music. "Playing in cover bands was great fun and an excellent experience, however, now I feel I must perform my own music and see where it will take me. My songs have always been well received - interspersed here and there in a cover set. I'm anxious to record them and perhaps even get some airplay to see where they will go." And she has done just that! Her debut album "Kiss'n Tell" received much critical acclaim. Recently, Shannon has again teamed up with producer/guitarist extraordinaire, Andreas Schuld, (Long John Baldry) to complete her follow-up CD "Pot of Gold" set for release in August 2008. Once again, this disc features original songs penned by Lee and Colin Rankin(Russian Judge). GODS OF MUSIC (www.godsofmusic.com) Cam Bastedo (Reviewer) - February 25, 2004 "Kiss 'n Tell" is a bouncy, radio ready number that - despite it's rock genre billing - would be almost equally at home on either country or AM mainstream radio stations. The melody of this song is easily remembered and quite catchy. ". . .There are no rough edges here: the production is smooth, the playing is tight, the mix is well balanced and the voice - of one Shannon Lee - is silky, suggestive and sultry." "For some reason, she reminds me of the country artist Loretta Lynn, maybe in part due to her physical appearance, and - yes - perhaps a little bit of Amanda Marshall, whom Lee lists as a major influence. This much is certain: her voice is strong and expressive - easily equal to the task set by her composition." Shannon Lee - another Canadian talent to be reckoned with!
