Kings favorite Shannon LaBrie and Kenny Childers release a new EP which is part of a new project called Forevermore. Shannon takes a slight turn in music style on the new offering but her signature sound is still present. The new project brings to mind the early days of Jackson Brown with a tinge of 90’s. LaBrie says, “we are both pretty emotionally dark but, for some reason, when we play music together, it feels happy. I guess two wrongs make a right?” The album feels free, smooth and breezy, like one would feel at the beginning of fall. The kind of music you can play anytime/anywhere.” Check out the track self titled track.
