TODAY'S EPISODE: Shanna in a Dress (St. Louis, MO) joins us with 5 songs ranging from a goofy song about an honest dating profile, to a devastating take on loving someone through a fight with dementia. Shanna's energy is infectious and she lives for the type of songwriting and community we celebrate on the podcast. This is a special episode with an artist who is smack dab in her element talking shop about songs and life!

The Guest List presented by Poss Music Works is about songwriters, their most impactful songs, and the stories behind them. Bill Poss, a notable troubadour in his own right, is your host and executive producer. Each episode, we ask a traveling North American songwriter to perform their 5 most popular/requested songs -- all in front of a live, invite only, studio audience.

Garrett Burris is your audio engineer and producer. Emily Clark on the video. JJ Passalacqua with the weather.

It's right where you've always wanted to be - on The Guest List!

After the first set of 5 songs, we take a short break, and then the artist will play another 5 song set during which the audience (you!) can ask questions or make a request.
