Marc Lee Shannon is a Northeast Ohio singer-songwriter and author with years of baked-in Rust Belt “fall down, get up, dust off, and do it again” grit and determination. A champion of every day heroes, his soulful, melodic music chronicles the struggles and redemption of the lost, the found, the deserted, and the delivered. 

As a veteran studio and touring guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, Shannon’s over 30-year career has taken him from his hometown of Akron, Ohio, to Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, and back again. A friend connected him with Northeast Ohio’s favorite son, Michael Stanley, sparking a musical partnership, decades-long mentorship and friendship with Michael’s band, The Resonators. There, he was a featured instrumentalist, vocalist, and co-writer, appearing on 23 releases in the 25 years of his tenure until Stanley’s passing in 2021. 

He has released four solo albums and multiple singles, and vows to keep working. In a recent interview, he said he would “never quit no matter what” but rather “just stay standing and keep creating.”
