Shannon Bolin (Tucker)

I am a 38 year old mother of 2 teenagers, and I've been a singer since birth and a songwriter since highschool. My grandmother told me once that I could sing before I could talk and dance before I could walk. I grew up on radio--my stepmother smashed our TV when I was 12, and my father made us listen to everything--country, rock-n-roll, blues, jazz, folk--even opera once. It was a well-rounded experience that gave me a deep appreciation for all types of music, and it still influences my writing.
