The old frontwoman for the acclaimed indie pop jazz group Crowsdell, singer/songwriter Shannon Wright was born and embossed in Jacksonville, FL. A product of the area's prosperous all-ages tough scene, she formed Crowsdell with bassist Paul Howell and drummer Laurie Anne Wall, debuting in 1995 with the underground dearie Dreamette and shortly later relocating to New York City. However, when relations with label Big Cat soured in the wake of 1997's Within the Curve of an Arm, the group dissolved, and an embittered Wright sold most of her property and affected to rural North Carolina, where she began recording a serial of deep personal, folk-inflected songs to four-track. A handful of solo singles followed before she recorded the full-length Flightsafety, issued on Quarterstick in 1999. Maps of Tacit appeared a yr by and by. Wright released the sparse mini-LP Perishable Goods and the typically eclectic Colored in the Wool in 2001. In 2004 she place extinct the tempered and emotionally rich Over the Sun, followed by the every bit poignant Get in the Light in 2007.
