Shannon Curtis is an artist who works as a songwriter, singer, storyteller, recording artist, speaker, and author. Her sixth studio album, entitled Both at the Same Time, is out now, and explores concepts of duality and of holding opposing truths in tension.
Curtis and her husband Jamie Hill’s pioneering development of their unique community-driven house concert touring format takes them on extensive nationwide house concert tours each year. Their how-to book on that method debuted in February 2014 at #1 on Amazon’s Music Business Best Sellers list. They have become popular speakers on the topic at music industry conferences, and they routinely mentor other artists on house concert touring and DIY business.
