Share in Shannon Lay’s Joy With Her New Album, August
sngalbums: Photo by: Denée Segall Originally appeared on Grimy Goods. With her new album, August, Shannon Lay challenges us to be joyous. She makes a case for celebration and for perseverance and for life. It is somehow shocking (in a good way!), which speaks volumes about not only the record itself, but also about our current society.
