Midwest songwriter Jason Shannon, along with his band, will forgo their plans to vacation in Transylvania this summer in lieu of playing a steady stream of dates throughout the Midwest, East Coast and even a good part of the South. The band toured nationally with Bob Schneider last year as his support and in support of their self-titled debut album via their own label, Wild Horse Records. The band intends to return to the studio later this year to record their follow-up album.
