Shannon Oherlihy: A beautiful singer/songwriter who has been performing from a very young age. When she was nine, she got her first guitar, and started writing her own songs at the age of ten. Inspired by the music of John Denver, Gordon Lightfoot, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins and Bob Dylan, Shannon found her musical roots in contemporary folk.
Shannon's voice is clear and sweet accompanied by accoustic guitar. I recently saw Shannon at Musicland Isle for an early morning show. She does a mix of cover tunes and originals, and recently won the Second Song for Amnesty contest sponsored by the Amnesty International-E group in search of a theme song. A total of 26 artists entered their songs and they were all very qualified. After, by her own admission, not having written a new tune in some time, Shannon pulled out all the stops with the winning entry. Members of the AI-E group voted, and believe me when I say, it was a very tough choice. I narrowed my choices down to 4 eventually, and Shannon's song was among those. The AI-E group is located on the Four Bridges sim and is officially recognized by the RL Amnesty organization for their efforts here in SL.
Shannon McMahon is based in Stratford, CT and her music is available on iTunes, CD Baby & MySpace
