Really missing playing and singing for you, but right now, please be safe and stay home. This is real, and we have lost friends, family and many wonderful musicians. Support by contributing to musicians with their online concerts because every bit helps them and you'll come away having listened to "live music" - stay healthy and we'll see each other soon!

Shanna Carlson and Friends

CAFE PINK HOUSE, 14577 Big Basin Way, Saratoga, CA

Shanna’s voice has been compared to Rosemary Clooney, at times June Christy, and is a story-teller, delivering a lyric which touches the heart, not only as a balladeer, but swinging, with a playful side.  She's a pianist/songwriter and has been accompanist at Jazz Camp West and also taught classes there and at the California Conservatory of Jazz.

Tonight she'll be singing/playing with the Benny Watson Trio bringing a wide variety of songs and styles, from Porter to Tizol to Franks...
