Guitarist, vocalist and songcrafter John Shannon combines ethereal vocals and textured guitar on his soul-searching debut solo album American Mystic. The guitarist for Sonya Kitchell's ground-breaking new album Words Came Back To Me , leader of evolutionary instrumental group Waking Vision , and former electric guitarist for psychedelic Sufi trance rocker Haale , Shannon's solo sound is organic, tender and quietly captivating.

“I believe when music is combined with mysticism, it becomes a bridge to
the spirit world," says Shannon, who experiences that world around him with American Mystic. "To me, mysticism is an awareness and belief in the ever present mystery of life."

His new single "Somewhere (remixes)" includes two remixes by two-time Grammy winner Eric Kupper, and a stunning video of the original version of "Somewhere."
