Bio:

Taking his listeners on an emotional journey is Shannon Grady's goal and they are happy to go with him. A storyteller in the vein of Damien Rice and Iron and Wine, Shannon has been weaving his tapestries of aural visions across two independently produced albums. After a decade honing his craft first in touring bands and then as a solo artist on the Minneapolis club scene, he released "10 Years", his first album, in 2006. This well-received collection of tales led to invitations to appear on podcasts, indie radio and small events across the country where he was an instant fan favorite.

His adventures and the people he met along the way fueled the new songs and stories that resulted in 2007's "It Was A Dance". The excitement was so great that he gathered four fellow artists and formed the highly successful "Bears On The Run" tour which earned rave reviews in their 21-city trek across the south, midwest and east in the fall of 2007/ spring of 2008.

Shannon is poised to share his stories with fans old and new. Shannon is working on his Third CD that will be ready for purchase when he hits the road with Bears On The Run in Jan 2010.
