Saxophonist and Singer Songwriter Shannon Kennedy

Hello!

For those of you who are first coming to the site - welcome - and for those of you returning - thanks for coming back! I'm Shannon Kennedy, an up and coming female saxophonist and vocalist located in Southern California. I play in the jazz, pop, classical and smooth jazz styles and I have been performing professionally since 2005.

As part of my career, I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to record and perform with artists like Peter White, 10,000 Maniacs, Craig Chaquico (Jefferson Starship), Greg Adams (Tower of Power), Kirk Whalum, Chieli Minucci, Nick Colionne and U-Nam.

As a solo artist I have released I have released four full albums and several singles including "Angel Eyes" (2005), "Steppin Up" (2007), "Never My Love" (2007), and "Almost that Time of Year" (2009). I am currently working on my debut vocal album. In 2009 I began touring and performing with French guitarist, U-Nam, as a regular part of his band. This next year, I will be appearing on his George Benson Tribute album "Weekend in L.A." as a flute player and saxophonist.

I just recently released my newest album and first as a singer-songwriter. I am really excited about the project I'd absolutely love it if you took a listen.
