Ketamine - Beautiful Mess

"As she started to play, I instantly pictured her on a dark stage, lit by a single spotlight in an auditorium filled with thousands of fans..." Fiona Gordon, Cue, National Arts Festival Review, June 2010.

Critically-acclaimed Pianist and Vocal Artist, Shannon Hope has been tugging on South African heart strings since the release of her debut solo album in 2009, with her intriguingly powerful heart songs. 

Hope’s extensive musical journey over the past decade through various musical incarnations has seen her grace the esteemed stages of The Barnyard Theatre, Splashy Fen Festival, Woodstock SA, White Mountain Festival, Oppikoppi, Music at the Lake, as well as The Metro Theatre in Chicago. Her brief sojourns in America in the early days of her music career earned her the opportunity of recording a five track EP in 2004, with Chicago’s high profile producer, Bjorn Thorsrud (of Smashing Pumpkins & Zwan fame).

In only the first six months of launching her solo career, Shannon Hope had independently recorded and released her debut solo album entitled S T I L L, gained play listing on campus and regional radio stations, and embarked on national promotional tours, performing on some of the country’s premier music platforms with some of its most revered artists. 

“With a sound charged with emotional intensity, Shannon Hope’s performance brought goose bumps to my skin. The powerful combination of her singing and song-writing is sure to leave any audience captured.” Isabel Rawlins, Cue, National Arts Festival Review, June 2010.
 
Having recently secured a full endorsement from world-renowned Japanese piano manufacturer Kawai Pianos, Hope returned to the studio in January 2011 to record the much-anticipated follow-up to her debut album, due for release later this year.

With appearances at nearly every major festival around the country, including the National Arts Festival, The Hilton Arts Festival, KKNK and Aardklop, to name a few, and a furious countrywide touring schedule, she has earned a reputation, amongst industry professionals and audiences alike, as one of the hardest-touring, self-managed solo artists on the national circuit, delivering an intensely honest personal commentary in a vocal epic that has mesmerised audiences countrywide.

“Shannon is iemand wat ‘n kamer se dak van sy mure af kan wegsing. Klein botteltjie, groot gif – in die ware sin. Dis iemand wie se musikale omvang ‘n antie soos Tori Amos onder die tafel kan insing, so jy is gewaarsku. Dit is onbestrede: Hope is Aardklop 2010 se nuwe stem van die jaar.” Angola Badprop, Spat, Beeld, September 2010.
