teen jazz hosted by sax player Shannon Kennedy
Over the last few years I have gotten the chance to attend a lot of incredible performances, try a lot of great gear, and have gone to a lot of fun events. Each experience I had was unique and has helped to shape me musically, and so I feel they are worth sharing.

I have taken the time to write articles on some of it and they are up and available to read - enjoy!

All articles are written by Shannon Kennedy unless stated otherwise.
