Sharon Shannon Each Little Thing CD

Exuberant, joyous, upbeat...the vibrant and vital music of Irish accordion virtuoso Sharon Shannon. The follow-up recording to her critically acclaimed Out the Gap is finally here, and Billboard describes it as "her most adventurous to date... Sharon's finest." Each Little Thing takes Sharon further in her genre-stretching rework of the Celtic tradition. A tango, waltz, a Chilean tune, and even covers of a Fleetwood Mac and a Grace Jones song are treated to her unique musical sensibilities, intermixing intricate accordion playing with contemporary accompaniment.
Produced by Donal Lunny, Each Little Thing features her touring band, plus guest appearances by the legendary Tommy Peoples, Stephen Cooney, John McSherry, and a guest vocal by pop singer Kirsty MacColl. Always firmly rooted in tradition, Sharon has become, according to Folk Roots, "a visionary and innovator, absorbing, probing, exploring, and using her Clare roots as a launching pad for a scintillating and highly individual world music of entirely her own creation."
