It's been a busy year for Shannon & the Clams frontwoman Shannon Shaw. This summer she unleashed her first solo record, Shannon in Nashville, made with a bevy of studio legends at Dan Auerbach's Easy Eye Studio and giving her a crack at applying her gritty and soulful voice to the big beat ballad style of vintage Roy Orbison or Brenda Lee sides. Before that, her band released Onion, its fifth collection of '60s-inspired rock 'n roll, and they're hitting the road this fall in support. With Dirty Fences, The Hussy.
