O'Shea Sister's Bio:
Great News! The O'Shea Sisters were named Vocal Ensemble Champions at the 2007 Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships! They're also currrently recording a C.D.! Look for it this fall.
The O'Shea Sisters are an up and coming sister duo that perform Bluegrass, Folk, Old-Time, Celtic, and Acoustic music. They have been performing as a group since 2004.
Shannon, 15, has been playing the fiddle for a decade now, first learning in the Suzuki Method from Dorothy Risebigg and then later taking Bluegrass Fiddle lessons from Kansas Fiddling and Picking Champion and Fiddler for the Topeka band "PASTENSE" Diane Gillenwater. She was honored to recieve Youth Fiddle Champion in 2006 at the Kansas State Fiddling and Picking Championships!
Erika, 17, took up the Guitar three years ago, also taking from Diane Gillenwater, and just recently has also been receiving lessons from Rick Faris, SPBGMA Guitar Performer of the Year and part of the award-winning family band "The Faris Family."
The O'Shea Sisters now play out as much as they can, listen to as many kinds of music as possible, and have recently even started writing their own songs. Their music related studies and travels have led them to festivals, camps, and jams to states all over the Midwest including Colorado, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, and of course all over their home state of Kansas.
