Shanna started her career at the University of Virginia, fell in love with Boulder, Colorado, and now keeps her fun music flowing out of Nashville unless she’s touring the US or Europe. You can’t get the same Shanna in a Dress show twice with her spontaneous banter and playful stage presence. She manages to teeter the line masterfully of taking on complex subject matters with smart, bold, and yet accessible lyrics. Her charisma and boldly honest songs are full of interesting language and wordplay and delight audiences of all ages.
Shanna in a Dress is your quirky best friend who refuses to wear pants. She says what everyone has felt but no one else will say and you’ll get an uncensored journey of clever humor and heartbreak, extreme candor, and a hefty side of entertainment at her shows.
“Shanna in a Dress? Never heard of her” – Paul Simon
“Shanna in a Dress combines witty, heartfelt songwriting with great musicianship guaranteed to deliver a memorable experience for anyone lucky enough to hear her. From the incredibly moving “Daddy’s Little Girl” to the super funny “Mmm That’s Hot” she hits home on every level taking her listeners on a delightful roller coaster ride of laughter, tears and everything in between.” – Steve Seskin, Grammy-nominated songwriter
“A musical force of nature! Shanna is a prolific songwriter and performer with a broad approach to covering topics from whimsical to profound. She performs originals as well as covers of meaningful songs about love, family, contemporary life… and boobies! She can have you belly-laughing, then boomerang you to tears and contemplation minutes later. Best enjoyed live. Her songwriting chops can handle any human thought — including ones in your head that you’d like to experience as a song. No joke, Shanna is the real deal.” – Ross Martin
