Her compositions have been widely recorded (Battlefield Band, Childsplay, Ailie Robertson, Tricolor), and The Irish American News dubbed her 2009 Female Musician of the Year. LiveIreland recognized Heaton’s consummate stagecraft in 2010, naming her “Female Artist of the Year” for two years in a row.
Shannon has performed with numerous ensembles throughout the Northeast, including the Robbie O’Connell Band, Keith Murphy and Fair Play, Celtic Christmas Sojourn, Childsplay, and Ensemble Galilei.
