SHANNON STEPHENS NEW RELEASE OUT ON ASTHMATIC KITTY!!!!

Domino Publishing are thrilled to announce the release of Shannon Stephens new album out on Asthmatic Kitty "The Breadwinner".

"The Breadwinner was recorded on a laptop with rented mics and a silk undershirt on a hanger as a pop filter. Shannon also had the privilege to play into “Greedy” Greg Williamson’s coveted, home-made Pez-dispenser clown mic. Shannon provides vocals and guitar (a sunburst Gibson, of course) and is very excited to have worked with some amazing talent on this album. Nathan Smurthwaite (The Marrying Type, The Abodox) contributes on guitars, Steve Moore on trombone, Edd Key (Spittin’ Image) on stand up bass, James McAlister (Sufjan Stevens, Richard Swift, Ester Drang) on drums. The album is filled out with reeds, horns and strings, including Grammy-nominated composer Phil Peterson (Nada Surf, Mastodon, Chronicles of Narnia Soundtrack) on cello. And one must not forget Hilary, one of Shannon’s three hens, on the cluck.

Maybe one day Shannon will get a well-deserved rest, but until then, as she sings so beautifully in “Come To My Table”, she’ll be a breadwinner with “one crazy bloodshot eye and no relief in sight."
