Shauna Burns

We have added cuts from Shauna Burns excellent new CD EP Anamnesis to our Over Easy program. Shauna has grown a lot since her last release “The Moon and the Fire Circle” and this EP really shows off her hard work and dedication with well written and performed songs like “Smell” and “A Letter”.

This 5 song EP is the continuation of The Moon and the Fire Circle and the next step in her musical journey. Anamnesis, which means "recollection" or "remembrance", focuses on the senses that live in our memories. "Music is a trigger for things we remember," Shauna explains. "Each of the songs on Anamnesis represents one of the senses." The first song on the EP is titled "Smell" ....its reference is obvious. "A Letter" embraces the gift of sight, "Wind" references touch, "Driving Far" taste, and "So Tell Me…" our sense of hearing. The new album is full of Shauna’s trademark piano and vocals, James Clark on drums and percussion, Steve Lemmon on guitar and bass, Ryan Tilby on mandolin and dobro, Kiley Astle on violin and Steve Nelson on cello.

For a limited time you can download the first cut from
