The Tea Grotto

Flourishing, Nourishing

The Tea Grotto flourished last thursday night for KUER’s fall fundraiser.  Rebecca Sheeran hosted delightful tea and chocolate parings.  The cast of the radio show attended.  I had the opportunity to meet the jazziest voice on the radio, Steve Williams.

The chocolates were crafted by Katie and Stephen Hatch of Hatch Family Chocolates, they were simple, yet decadent delights.  Some of the Tea Pairings included ~

• Mint Chocolate Truffle with Jasmine Silver Tips Green Tea
• Thick Dark Chocolate Draping Fresh Raspberries with Strawberry-Lemon Tea
• Sliced Polenta Topped in Fresh Pesto, Pine Nuts, and Greens with Genmaicha
• Chocolate Rum Nut with Marsala Chai Tea

I entertained the guests for the evening. I played classic jazz and my original compositions.

The Tea Grotto

Okay I’m writing a little extra, since this is a blog and all, and not just shameless self promotion.

Actually it is.  Who else is going to do it?  My fans, my family, my Steven, my Ronan ( in time will as well).

Alot of people are involved of helping me make my music carreer a go.  The Tin Angel family, The Tea Grotto Family,  The Big Ed’s Family.  The more music I make the more people are involved, the more magic happens.   And it’s happening, my music is blooming!  Come to my shows!  Share with me your muses and we can inspire each other!

Shannon plays live music of her own creations and a bit of jazz.  Listen to her loop sounds and rythmn live, you’ll be delighted.
