We want to thank all of you for your kindness in taking the time to nominate us for the Texas Music Awards! Thanks to you, we made it on the ballot!

Yes, ShAnnie is right up there sharing nominations with very talented artists, some of whom are close friends. We were nominated for Vocal Duo, along with Art & Lisa, so at this point, we’re just tickled to be there!

Another friend, our very own producer, John Inmon, was also recognized for his work on our album “The Station”; taking two nominations. One for Studio Musician and one for Producer of the Year! Way to go JOHN!
“The Station” has been serving us well; it’s been one train ride after another, with no end in sight!

Cheers to Texas Music and all its supporters!!!

About running away for love...
We were thinking about Grandparents on both sides of our families that eloped, which inspired this song. It seems like people did that a lot back in those days.
What sacrifice would you make?

Artists needed to have had a project in the year 2011 (ShAnnie - âˆš)

Did you know that we were nominated at the 2008 Texas Music Awards for Vocal Duo, and for best Producer for our debut album “Water Over Stones”? We were even fortunate to have been able to perform at the Texas Music Awards that year, a moment we will certainly cherish.

Perhaps you’d be interested in nominating John Inmon, our producer for our latest album, “The Station”? John would greatly appreciate that, and we feel he deserves a nomination for his work in conveying every emotion we were feeling when we wrote the songs.

Visit the link, and place our names anywhere you feel we fit. We’re grateful for your time and consideration. As we are sure all of the members of the My Texas Music Academy would be grateful.

They will land in Zurich, Switzerland first where they will jump on a connecting train to Geneva to greet their ever gracious host Michel!
The trip has them playing shows all over Switzerland, with stops in Austria and Germany as well. During their time in Europe they will also be visiting with "Chicken Mambo", the Italian Blues Band that recently toured in Texas in the fall of 2010. ShAnnie are planning on recording a cut of one of their new singles in the studio with Chicken Mambo. You'll definitely want to stay tuned for the release of that one!
Yes, this trip is a whirlwind tour...with loads of exciting ventures!
Updates, photos and lots of blogging will be posted along the way.
