Marc Lee Shannon

Marc Lee Shannon is a Rustbelt/North Coast Ohio songwriter and author with years of Midwest “fall down, get up, dust off, and do it again” determination. A champion of everyday heroes, his soulful, melodic music chronicles the struggles and redemption of the lost, the found, the deserted, and the delivered.

As a veteran studio and touring guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, Shannon’s over 30-year career has taken him from his hometown of Akron, Ohio, to Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, and back again. A friend connected him with Northeast Ohio’s favorite son, Michael Stanley, sparking a musical partnership, decades-long mentorship, and friendship with Michaels's band, the Resonators. There, he was a featured instrumentalist, vocalist, and co-writer, appearing on 23 releases in the 25 years of his tenure until 2021 and the passing of his friend.

He has released four solo albums and multiple singles, and vows to keep working. In a recent interview, he said he would “never quit no matter what” but rather “just stay standing and keep creating.”

His 2024 release, Marc Lee Shannon and My Other Brothers is now available on all streaming formats, as well as his website, marcleeshanon.com.
