After a short break we will be graced by the musical stylings of Shannon Wurst.
Shannon Wurst has been sharing the rustic charm of her beloved Ozark Mountain region through her 14-year recording career which spans 6 albums and one EP. With each album there’s been an evolution in her vision. These days she’s releasing a series of singles that showcase more of a country spirit. Through it all, her words and songs may be from the Ozarks, but she’s singing for everyone, bringing them a slice of sweet southern living through her open-hearted and broadly resonant storyteller songs. She has been compared to Dolly Parton, Norah Jones, and Stevie Nicks.

Shannon has garnered much critical praise, career accolades, and awards. She’s earned standout reviews from Blueground Undergrass and Sing Out Folk Magazine whose John Lupton has gushed: "Shannon Wurst is among the rare breed who can make you sit upright and wonder aloud, ‘who is that?’ She is unquestionably arresting.” She has been commissioned to write music for the end-of-day parade for Bentonville, Arkansas’snon-profit, interactive children's Amazeum museum, and to write music for the Arkansas Arts Council’s 2019 play, Bear State of Mind. Shannon has been a finalist at the Merlefest Christ Austin Contest and the Telluride Troubadour Contest, and she was a winner at the Walnut Valley New Song Showcase. Shannon performs actively in the Ozark region, and beyond, and has opened for Robert Earl Keen, Railroad Earth and Carlene Carter, and she has performed alongside artists such as Sam Bush, Margo Price and John Prine.
