Shannon Butcher
Jazz, Classical and Pop Voice
Accomplished jazz singer Shannon Butcher always lights up the stage, whether she's performing fresh takes on classic tunes or jazzing up Top 40 music in a set she likes to call "Pop Goes The Diva". Shannon is a regular performer at The Rex Hotel, both as a solo artist and with popular swing group Swing Rosie. You may have caught Shannon's act with The Toronto Jazz Orchestra, the Keepin' Out of Mischief Combo and jazz greats such as Oscar Peterson and Rob McConnell, at jazz events including the Toronto Lindy Hop Exchange, the Annual Swing Thing and Dundas Jazz Vespers. Shannon may have also caught your ear while doing a little crooning festival-style, most notably at the Downtown Toronto Jazz Festival, the Distillery Jazz Festival, the Oakville Jazz Festival and Celebrate Toronto Jazz Festival. Shannon's self-titled CD, released in 2003, can be heard on JAZZ FM 91.1 - or you can check it out right now by visiting her Audio page.
Shannon has been teaching at CMC since 2003. She's a very inspiring, friendly, gentle and encouraging teacher. For more info about Shannon, please visit her website:
