About Shannon

Deeply rooted in Irish traditional music, Boston-based flute player/singer/composer Shannon Heaton has appeared on stages in four continents. She shares tunes for learning and live-streamed sessions on her educational YouTube channel. And after receiving a 2016 Artist Fellowship from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, she launched the Irish Music Stories oral history project which explores universal themes through an Irish music and dance lens. 

When she is not playing Irish music, Shannon is an avid runner and hiker. Many of her compositions and podcast episodes have been written and developed on the trails of the Middlesex Fells Reservation.
