Event Details
Shannon Runyon is a singer/songwriter that has been immersed in music her entire life. She claims she was raised in the ‘Partridge Family’ because her parents and four siblings all play instruments and sing and doing this together as a young family are some of her favorite memories. Shannon recorded an album in Houston called ‘Getting Better Road’ where she sang for a decade with a talented duo partner. She moved to Park City five years ago where she really started to thrive and find her place and voice in the world of music. She loves collaborating with and supporting other musicians almost as much as she does performing. Music is meant to be shared and she finds pure joy in sharing her talent with others. She is often told she reminds people of Jewel and Natalie Merchant and she believes that as long as she is true to herself in voice and music AND gives her best, that’s the sweet spot of being a musician.
Shannon plays piano and guitar and mostly performs solo and occasionally as a duo, trio or with a full band .
Organizer
Mountain Town MusicWe present a bouillabaisse of music to stimulate the sense of groove for music lovers, life lovers & everybody in between. We believe in the power of music and are creating one community under a groove with every show that we program —whether it be at a rodeo ground in Peoa, Main Street in Coalville or in the mountains of Park City. In 2018, with our community partners, we programmed 379 shows, reached just over 350,000 people of all ages, provided workshops for over 1,000 Summit County students and gave back 3.3 million dollars to our community. The majority of our shows are free and we encourage dancing, singing and the joyful celebration of music. We program over 300 community concerts each year. We produce outreach programs in local schools and educational concerts at Deer Valley for students K-12. We promote email and on air broadcasting to promote ALL live music in Summit County. We provide web and grass roots-based networking platforms for musicians and live music entities. We partner with other non-profits to reach common, community-driven goals and objectives.
