On Friday, Feb. 27 at the Colony in Woodstock, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Shannon McNally returns with a richly textured set that blends Americana, blues, country, and soul. With a career that began on jam-band stages in the 1990s and has evolved into nearly three decades of genre-defying recordings and collaborations, McNally’s music is marked by a mercurial roots aesthetic and a voice that’s simultaneously smoky, poignant, and effortless.
Across her catalog, from early tours with Derek Trucks and Robert Randolph to deeply personal recent projects, McNally serves the song above all, delivering performances that linger long after the last chord. Backed by the poetic storytelling of Irish-American songwriter John Francis O’Mara, this show promises an evocative evening of heartfelt originals and interpretive depth — a fitting showcase for one of Americana’s most resilient voices.
