Spiritsong Bio

Spiritsong’s lifelong love of music has frequently led her into unusual experiences. She began singing in a traveling gospel trio at age six, and lasted nearly three days in a juried piano marathon at 19. She also performed at a World Peace Day celebration at the Asheville Civic Center.

Spiritsong (also known as Mary O’Shannon) brings decades of experience to the stage. Her full-bodied vocals, accomplished keyboard playing and original songs have been heard in venues as diverse as Asheville’s Bele Chere Festival and the Science of Mind churches where she served as music minister.
