Shauna Burns


Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Shauna Burns burst onto the music scene in 2005 with her debut album "Every Thought" to rave reviews and acclamation. Kevan Breitinger of Indie-Music.com declares the album "Fresh, Fearless and Free" while Kristin Dreyer Dramer from Nights and Weekends finds Shauna's music as "spectacular piano arrangements and clear melodic vocals." , Smother.net quotes "Every Thought," as "a new fangled fusion that will ignite a spark that will be hard to replicate. Perfect." Shauna's ethereal vocals and beautiful piano developed while growing up in Miami, Florida. Inspired by her mother's love for the piano, her songwriting thrived and when she headed west for college her music met cheers and enthusiastic recognition. After receiving a bachelor's degree in Anthropology at the University of Utah, Shauna spent a year in Europe preparing her debut album. Released under Red Rock Music, "Every Thought" gained not only stellar critical acclaim and a healthy following but Shauna embarked on a vigorous national US tour from coast to coast. Shauna's songwriting extension to "Every Thought", is her 2007 followup EP release entitled, "Desert Tune." This 5 song EP is witty and playful while in harmony with her nature of being personal and captivating. Shauna and her piano are once again joined by co-producer and drummer James Clark, Ryan Tilby on guitar and bass with Steve Lemmon on guitar. Inspired by residing in a desert landscape, "Desert Tune" gives the listener a different pair of eyes to view what this world can give and take from us - physically and emotionally. Shauna's music is inspired by many cultures and ideas that surround the world as well as the landscape of the deserts and mountains of the western US that she now calls home. Taking her knowledge in Anthropology as a shovel she is always digging, searching for her next musical adventure. Shauna explains her songwriting philosophy as, "It can start with just a feeling, that seed in your stomach that grows until you cannot ignore it anymore. I feel the need to cultivate and nurture these seeds because seeds can grow into big ideas if we take care. It makes me question: What's next for all of us in this world? What is the universe trying to tell us? I'm listening."
