News

I know it's been a long long time since my last newsletter. I hope you'll accept my apology…it's been pretty crazy around here since the last one went out in March. I've been traveling: Vegas, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Maryland, Virginia, Northern California, Southern California, Boston, and New York City—then Vegas again…. It's been a blur, and I know I promised you a post card. But anyway, here we are, and there's lots of news to relate!

I'm starting work on a new CD project - a brand new Christmas CD called Noel inspired by the music we've brought to all of our sold out Celtic Christmas concerts! We start recording this week! I can't wait for a holiday season full of PACKED CD RELEASE CONCERTS! Ticket information is already up on the Web site!

Tour With Me To Ireland

There has been a common theme that has emerged from the process of signing up people for this amazing trip: "I can't make it in September, but if it was in May I could TOTALLY go and bring six friends!" May in Ireland sounds fun to me…My friend, and champion tour guide Misty Rockenfield assures me that we can have just as much fun in May as October. Maybe more! Visit Misty Tours Ireland for details about what this trip will be like and how to sign up!

Shannon Castle Art News

Have you ever wanted to see Shannon's creations up close and personal? We are proud to announce that Shannon will have a gallery show and exhibit at the Ryan James Fine Arts Gallery in sunny Kirkland Washington on Friday August 14th! This is Shannon's first ALL ORIGINALS gallery show. Ever. A certain fiddle player might be spotted playing in a corner, and there will most likely be wine. Lots of wine.

COMMISSIONED ART! ART FOR YOU!

Shannon is now accepting a very limited number of art commissions from select clients. You can own an original masterpiece, like Maira (glass mermaid, pictured below) created just for you!

Can't afford an original but want beautiful art in your home anyway? A variety of high quality hand made replicas are available for ALL of her designs in a variety of affordable prices and styles!

Contact Shannon Here

Well, you've read all the way to the bottom of this newsletter. I love you for that!!

Stay in touch, have a great Summer and see you at a concert or a school near you!

Peace
