Shannon Gillespie

Shannon Gillespie is a Wigan-based indie-pop singer-songwriter whose music combines open personal writing with bright guitars, live drums and a growing full-band sound. Her early releases focused on heartbreak through delicate vocal performances before she stepped away from releasing music to develop her songwriting and live identity. Her return single ‘One For The Road’ explored first dates, awkward moments, overthinking and late-night experiences in Liverpool. ‘The Runner’ continued that development with tighter pacing, a steady rhythmic drive and lyrics about remaining hopeful while recognising the risk of disappointment. Shannon Gillespie has performed headline shows and planned her first music video as part of a broader visual direction for her work. She has also used her platform to support the Liverpool Bereavement Service following her own experience of loss.
