Sounds Like: The secret of Shannon's sound lies in the vocal talents of Tom, Randy, and Jason...three part harmonies that make you sit back and say "Oh man; they sound just like..."! And we can jam when necessary. Vintage Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, and Ibanez guitars with old Marshall, Kustom, Peavey, and Fender amps. We sound much like the original artists because we don't use samples or simulators...we have the classic instrumentation to replicate the sounds of the greats!
