About Me

"Liquor Hot" is the debut CD by the young Minneapolis based band, "Kymara." Fronted by the hottest vixen ever to grace the stage with a metallic Martin, Shannon brings a deeply emotional, hard-edged energy to her indie-folk stylings. Her past as a drummer for bands like Lifestream and various other projects, become evident in her heavily rythmic and aggressive playing style. Combine that with an often-delicate yet powerfully dynamic vocal style, and you'll start to get the idea. Kymara is currently cutting their proverbial teeth on the coffee shop and night club circuit, so check the local listings for an opportunity to see an exceptional new take on female-fronted folk rock."Shannon is a raw-edged, hard-driving presence of undeniable consequence." --Dwight Hobbes Mpls/St. Paul magazine, Pulse of the Twin Cities, Insight News
