Join Shana Morrison tonight and catch the latest from her new self-produced CD of earthy, original R&B-flavored songs titled That's Who I Am. Melodic and inventive, with a gutsy roadhouse edge, Shana's songs range from sweet soul grooves to bluesy wails, with eclectic touches of Irish folk, country, and jazz thrown in.

Shana, who began her singing career with her father, Van, in his Rhythm and Soul Revue, is a rafter-rocking performer with a strong, infectious stage presence as well as a soulful singer that the San Francisco Chronicle praises for her "wide ranging voice that is both powerful and pure. Her vocal inflections, soaring melodic lines and sophisticated use of dynamics are impressive."

Tonight’s performance is sponsored by Bread & Roses, the bay area nonprofit that presents music performances to hidden audiences in places like homeless shelters and hospitals. Its May Around the Bay series provides an opportunity for the public to learn more about its programs from some of the organization’s volunteer performers such as Shana.
