Shannon and I met when she opened for me in concert at the Star Plaza Theatre in Merrillville, IN. I thought she had a contract in the works for recording with a Major company. I was surprised when, as it turned out, she didn't. It didn't make sense to me, so I've been trying to make sense of it by helping her. She has great instincts for songs, a strong vocal talent, and a great work ethic. That's a recipe for a successful career.

If you have not had the opportunity to hear Shannon Raye, you are missing out on a great performer. She is a very dynamic singer who can breathe life into a song as she expresses it from her heart into your soul. I believe in Shannon Raye, and I believe that given the opportunity to hear her either live or on her album, that you will too!

I was very impressed with the professionalism and talent of Shannon Raye and The Diamondback Band. They put on a very good show. They were a good choice for the Chicago Country Music Festival.

Shannon draws the crowd in and weaves her spell to keep the energy flowing all night long. A phemomenal stage presence and entertainer. Shannon Raye is synonymous with country music as it should be today.

Shannon Raye - a precision voice with the power and flexibility of Shania Twain, yet the silky smoothness of Karen Carpenter. This lady has all the tools: beauty, talent, and stage presence. She gives 100% every time she gets on stage, a total professional. Combine all this with one of the tightest and most solid bands you'll encounter, and you have compelling reasons to catch her show at every opportunity. In my over 45 years in the business, Shannon is one of the finest vocalists I've ever had the privilege of working with. Go see her - you wont be disappointed - just dont block my view!!

Shannon Raye is a very talented individual. The public seems to genuinely like her sound and as a singer and songwriter, I personally feel she has the potential for bigger and better things in the industry. I look forward to any future dealings we will have either on air or at a concert venue. Very professional!
