Bio / Background
According to the Ladyslipper Catalog, "This intimate CD contains both traditional chants and original compositions, accompanied on guitar. Included is a musical setting of Deena Metzger's exquisite poem, Vows. Simple, straightforward, satisfying."
"A 'must have' .... Shawna's voice is a gracious way to allow these universal messages to melt into the heart."
-Dream Change Magazine
