Biography
"Sharon Shannon defines casual brilliance. She plays accordion with carefree fluidity, virtuosic but not flashy." - THE BOSTON GLOBE

"Sharon Shannon has the energy and stage presence of rockers and the unpretentious traditional roots of a pub musician...as exciting a live band as you'll find coming out of post-Celtic-revival Ireland." - DIRTY LINEN

After the major quadruple-platinum selling success of THE GALWAY GIRL and receiving two Meteor awards, Sharon Shannon's new album SAINTS AND SCOUNDRELS includes several newly penned tracks and boasts many special guests including members of The Waterboys, Imelda May, Shane MacGowan, Jerry Fish, Carol Keogh (Automata), Justin Adams (Robert Plant Band), Jack O'Grady, and introduces us to The Cartoon Thieves.

Standout tracks include "Go Tell the Devil" featuring Irish burlesque and rockabilly vocalist Imelda May, and "Saints & Angels" written by Mike Scott.

Originally intended for The Waterboys' Fisherman's Blues, "Saints and Angels" is a part reunion of that classic 1989 line-up that includes Mike, Steve Wickham, Anthony Thistlethwaite and Sharon.
