"What if you found out you had a gift for telling great stories about your travels and people you have met over the years? What if you worked hard and learned to play the guitar really, really beautifully? What if you saw the world with delight and consciousness and were able to translate the poetry around you into songs? Then you'd be Scott Hamilton.
And if you were at The River Café that night you'd know this."  Andree Levie-Warrilow, audience member
Mossy Gatherings and the River Cafe were blessed to host the dynamic Cougars in America, whose poetic lyrics and animated guitar work brought a warm vibe to Owen Sound on a chilly night.

"Shawna Caspi was charming and genuine. Her words were thought-provoking and her music was healing. We feel blessed to have met her and we are grateful for her spending her time and talent with us in in Owen Sound in this important event. On both local TV and on stage Shawna brought awareness to violence against women and encouraged people to be louder, to be the change! We enjoyed a lovely concert after the vigil. This singer/songwriter's music will warm the soul...even in the cold of Canadian winter. Thank you Shawna" ~ Mossy Gatherings. 
“What an experience! With rare sensitivity, Shawna Caspi guided the audience from mourning to celebration with her warmth and charm. A multi-gifted singer, songwriter, guitarist and story-teller, Shawna’s relaxed personal approach, her mellifluous voice and professional musicianship gave the event drama, humour, and appreciation of the human condition. Great talent, energy and personal charm. Shawna speaks to the heart – a winner! Hey Mossy Gatherings, bring her back soon” Sylvia Moss – member of the audience.

Shannon Rose
From Ottawa - July 7, 2013 at The River Cafe, Owen Sound
"Rose is by turns vulnerable and naive, streetwise and downright seductive, sometimes all in the same song. It’s an elusive, occasionally ambiguous quality - dangerous and impulsive one second, timid and innocent the next - that comes to define the warm, sonic purr of her resplendent debut.” (Ottawa XPress)

"Rose has a seductive, smoky voice and an ear for textured songs.” (National Post)

Check out her website here ---> www.shannonroseandthethorns.com

Shannon recently released a double CD concept album containing songs inspired by our beautiful Canadian seasons. The album "Seasons" along with others are available for purchase. 

Shannon is recognized by the Ontario Arts Council. 

She has been on CBC radio.

“[Shannon Rose] is a fantastic singer-songwriter, and has a way of transporting the listener to another, calmer place.” (Ottawa Citizen)

WE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO HOST SHANNON AND HER HUSBAND STEVE in our area as she created her most recent music video with a professional film crew on the Bruce Peninsula! Way to go Shannon!!!!!!!!
