THIS IS ME

Growing up in the St. Louis area, Shauna developed a rock n roll heart early on.  Her family home was always filled with music, especially the oldies her mom loved. Over the years she developed a passion for all musical eras, genres & styles.  Her background includes that of church musician, cantor, choir director, lyricist, soloist, lead rock and r&b vocalist, and cabaret performer.

From 2000 to 2008 she belted out rock, r&b and pop songs with several area cover bands.   In 2004, she created the popular cocktail/cabaret duo, Blush with bandmate & pianist/arranger Lisa Tuttle .  In 2010, they celebrated the end of their six-year run with their critically acclaimed sell-out cabaret show, At First Blush at the Kranzberg Performing Arts Center in St. Louis.

In 2011 Shauna released her debut CD, Fall Back Into Love - a fresh interpretations of rock, pop and Motown favorites, arranged & produced by the late, truly great Rick Jensen.  The CD included two original songs by Rick and Lina Koutrakos.  Shauna celebrated her birthday on September 30, 2011 with a sell-out CD Release Concert at the Kranzberg Center for Performing Arts for which she received rave reviews. The CD streams on Jango Radio where fans from all over the world have given her an enthusiastic "thumbs up"! 

2011 was a very good year.  Shortly after the CD Release, she & St. Louis guitarist Mike Krysl formed the acoustic rock duo Krysl & Sconce.  Featuring Mike's original arrangements of classic rock & pop tunes, they worked the coffee house circuit of St. Louis until Shauna's move to Florida in 2013.

An alum of Cabaret Masters Workshops in St. Louis, Chicago, New York, and Mykonos, Shauna has worked with such notable artists as Lina Koutrakos, Liz Callaway, Sally Mayes, Beckie Menzie,  Jason Graae, Andrea Marcovicci, Alex Rybec, and much beloved Rick Jensen.  

When not traveling to St. Louis, Chicago, & New York to perform, Shauna lives in Belleair Bluffs, Florida with her husband/roadie/manager Clyde and their spoiled-rotten cat, Cabo .
