About Me

PEACE LOVE AND MUSIC... WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SAY? MY NAME IS SHEA, AND I BELIEVE THAT MUSIC HAS, CAN, AND WILL CHANGE THE WORLD. MUSIC EXPRESSES THE DEEPEST SADNESS AND THE GREATEST JOY. IT TRIGGERS MEMORIES GOOD AND BAD. IT IS IN EVERY NATION, IN EVERY PERSON, EVERYWHERE. PERSONALLY IT PROVIDES ME WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SANITY.... AND AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF INSANITY.... LIFE IS A TORNADO AND MUSIC IS THE RAINBOW..... I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY MUSIC WITH THE WORLD.... BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO START WITH YOU......From the Corunna Newspaper & www.corunna4th.org: The Shea Music ProjectStemming from Michigan's Tri-City area, The Shea Music Project offers a little something for everyone. Entertaining the masses with a funky journey of classic rock, motown soul, and 90's fun, the group formed in late 2006. Whether you catch them in a lighter setting as a trio or rockin' a little harder with a full rhythm section The Shea Music Project is sure to please.The Shea Music Project is fronted by vocal powerhouse Shea Conklin. After studying music in New York, Shea moved to the tri-city area in 1993 with a mission to supply music lovers with a hearty combination of classic rock, soul, blues and pop. Since then she has sung with groups such as: The Crucible, Frantic, Tyshea, Dave Kellan and Friends, and has contributed background vocals to many local musicians.Loren Kranz is the multi-talented keyboard player and organist for the group. His unique vocal stylings also add entertaining color to the group. A music major at Wayne State University, Loren plays many instruments including: organ, piano, keys, guitar, banjo, and drums. He currently is sharing his talents not only with the Shea Music Project but also The Matt Besey Band, Blue Soul Revue, and has been known to make appearances with The Holy Gun and blues great Larry McCray just to name a few. Loren first came into the Michigan music scene with his first band Barbarossa in the early 2000's.Earl The Squirrel is the group's rhythm man. Guaranteed to make you want to tap your toes or maybe just get up and dance! His selection of instruments offers more than just your typical drummer. Earl plays congas, djembe, drum kit, and many other percussion instruments from all over the world. The Squirrel has played with many groups in Michigan including: Dave Kellan, Micah & the Squirrel, Empty Pockets, Rev. Right Time, Blue Soul Revue, and many, many more.No matter what your music preference is The Shea Music Project is always a fun and entertaining journey through all of your favorite tunes...
