Shanna Zell

"Whether backed by a full Rock band or just singing with her acoustic guitar, singer/songwriter Shanna Zell's voice echoes with a passionate, aggressive force that makes her music stand out from some of her more timid peers. " - Mike Breen, Cincinnati Beat
With her emotionally charged, sensual performances and a strength that radiates from her thought-provoking lyrics, Shanna Zell has carved a place in the world of female folk-rock artists.
Since moving to NYC 6 years ago, Shanna has entertained large crowds at notable venues including Rockwood Music Hall, Joe's Pub, The Living Room and The Knitting Factory as well as at popular music showcases like CMJ and Midpoint Music Festival. The buzz she created with her music led to song placements in viral video campaigns for the 2008 presidential election and to a placement in the Off-Broadway play "Post No Bills" in Dec 2009.
Shanna's latest project Coming Undone, was successfully fan-funded through a 90 day Pledge Music campaign and released soon after in January 2011. Coming Undone is a departure in both style and in theme from her first album, Hurricane Season (2005), showcasing Shanna's ability to seamlessly slip from heartfelt ballad to quirky power-pop song - resulting in its recent selection as a CD Baby Editor's Pick.
