Connor Garvey
We welcome back Connor Garvey to the Cooperage, where he performed multiple times prior to Covid. Connor’s songs move people. They have found their way into important life moments and experiences like marriages, funerals, cross country road-trips, and memorable nights out listening to live music.
Connor Garvey is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Portland, Maine, with the amiable presence of an entertainer, the lyrical depth of a poet, and the enchantment of a storyteller. Garvey leaves audiences uplifted and inspired through a positive message delivered in a way that proves you can be optimistic and self-aware without being boring. First time listeners often are drawn to Garvey’s engaging performance style, accomplished musicianship, and memorable melodies. But his lyrics project a depth and sincerity that allow the observant listener to find meaning beyond the catchy hook.
“Connor isn’t afraid to tackle some heavy-duty subjects” writes Americana Highways.
Onstage, Garvey is driven by the shared, spontaneous moments that can only come from live performance. He thrives in the intimacy and connection best observed in the brief space between the last note of a song and the applause – when audience and artist alike share a moment of reflection of the common experience.
“…Connor’s got the spark: a creative spark that literally shines all around him when he’s on stage. He has a way of turning a phrase or skewing a song scenario so that it makes the listener take note.” “That’s a real talent.” — No Depression
Shanna in a Dress is your quirky best friend who refuses to wear pants. She says what everyone has felt but no one else will say and you’ll get an uncensored journey of clever humor and heartbreak, extreme candor, and a hefty side of entertainment at her shows.
This witty wordsmith is known for taking you on an emotional roller coaster, sometimes within the same song. Think John Prine mixed with Ingrid Michaelson with a twist of Phoebe Buffay from Friends all wrapped up in a sweet voice accented by guitar, piano, and ukulele. She’s as real as it gets, as anyone who follows her on FB or Instagram knows.
A quirky singer-songwriter who will make you laugh, cry, and cry from laughing throughout her show.
“Shanna in a Dress combines witty, heartfelt songwriting with great musicianship guaranteed to deliver a memorable experience for anyone lucky enough to hear her. From the incredibly moving “Daddy’s Little Girl” to the super funny “Mmm That’s Hot” she hits home on every level taking her listeners on a delightful roller coaster ride of laughter, tears and everything in between.”
— Steve Seskin, Grammy-nominated songwriter
“I don’t think you are ready for this level of wit. Shanna in a Dress is a singer-songwriter who is sitting at the perfect intersection of catchy and comedy. Shanna is a breath of fresh air, as she is not afraid to have fun with her music. More than funny, her music is genuine. The humor is what hooks you in, and it is the depth of emotion that she conveys which will keep you singing along.”
