About Me

Shawna Caspi left her hometown of Ottawa, Ontario to pursue a degree in music at York University in Toronto. A classically trained folkie with a penchant for new music compositions and a fascination with the theories of R. Murray Schafer, Shawna released her first solo recording, Trip the Light, in 2005 and is currently recording her next full length CD, to be released in December 2007.

Shawna is a personable performer who loves to tell stories and welcomes audience interaction at all of her live shows. Her asymmetrical rhyming schemes and often crooked song structures are complimented by her rich voice and fingerpicking guitar style.
