Shauna Mackin Music

Meet Shauna Mackin, a singer/songwriter who released her debut EP 'Little Blue' in April of 2012. Hailing from Dublin, Shauna’s voice was molded by a family rich with musical talents. In 2009 her ambition saw her leave Dublin to pursue a music degree in Salford, Manchester. Inspired by the likes of Dusty Springfield, Peggy Lee and more recently Imelda May, Shauna’s distinctive voice has gained her outstanding recognition around the Greater Manchester area. Shauna has shared the stage with a host of top artists including Damien Dempsey, Sam Bradley and To Kill A King, as well as appearing on Pat Kenny's RTE Radio 1 breakfast show and BBC Introducing in Manchester with Michelle Hussey. After returning from a tour of Ireland in April, Shauna released her follow up to last year's Little Blue. A bolder, more rootsy record, Bootleg Sessions marks Shauna's evolution as an artist and gives listeners a taste of her explosive live shows and a glimpse into the life of this burgeoning talent.

Her voice is simply divine and you don’t have to listen too hard to hear the Irish charm flood through" Simon Poole- Silent Radio/Fresh On The Net "Shauna gets toes tapping and phones tweeting to the sound of her unique acoustic soul" Danni Skerrit- Quenched Music http://www.youtube.com/ShaunaMackinMusic https://itunes.apple.com/gb/artist/shauna-mackin/id510719211
