Pot Of Gold

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." Now, in 2008 we have 2 CD's by this versatile artist. Her debut CD "Kiss 'n Tell" was released in 2003. This follow-up CD "Pot of Gold" has some of the same great guitar work by guitarist Andreas Schuld. It is also a new collaboration with the very talented song writer and guitarist, Colin Rankin. Raina Morgan, Miss Lee's 16 year old daughter, is doing the back-up vocals.
