about

Shannon Whitworth is a contemporary singer-songwriter whose music straddles the lines between pop, country, folk, and other traditions, landing her squarely within the realm of what's typically considered Americana. Fans of Neko Case, Pretenders, Nancy Sinatra, First Aid Kit, Basia Bulat, and She & Him might appreciate Whitworth's lush, languid, lyric-centered approach to songwriting.

“So many of my songs were penned from darkness, and High Tide came from a place of light,” Whitworth explains. “It’s about heading towards that good feeling.” ‘La Croix’ takes listeners to the islands, diving into a reef of deep poignancy and examining the ‘Oh shit, I’m vulnerable,’ catch-22 that comes with falling in love. ‘Henry,’ the album’s oldest track, was born of two women drinking at a bar, commiserating over another foolhardy romance gone wrong. Whitworth dug up the rudimentary original lyrics years later from the back of a journal, its words smeared by the sweat of a bottle. “I feel like you make peace with life’s situations by making songs of them along the way,” says Whitworth, underscoring her desire to engage audiences with clarity and honesty.
