The Sharon Shannon Trio

Sharon Shannon is a musician who likes to surprise. While she is known for her arrangements of traditional Irish tunes and Irish-influenced compositions, she has always been eager to explore new styles, and to meet and work with other musicians, most notably Steve Earle on the track "Galway Girl", which became the eighth highest selling single in Irish chart history when she re-recorded it with Mundy. 

The accordionist from Ireland has achieved legendary status throughout the world and has made the much-maligned accordion ‘cool’ in her home country. Renowned for her collaborations, not just in Irish traditional music, but through all musical genres, Hip-Hop, Cajun, Country, Reggae, Classical and Rap.

As well as Steve Earle and Mundy, Shannon has also worked with The Waterboys, John Prine, Christy Moore, Jackson Browne, Belinda Carlisle, The Chieftains, Shane McGowan, Willie Nelson, Nigel Kennedy, Kirsty MacColl, Bono, Adam Clayton, Sinéad O’Connor, Imelda May, Johnny Depp, Paul Brady, Michael McGoldrick, The RTÉ Concert Orchestra, Coolfin, Dónal Lunny, Moya Brennan, and Liam O'Maonlai amongst others.
