About

“Shannon Roszell has been turning heads with her powerful and distinctive voice that elicits memories of the late, great Cranberries front-woman Dolores O’Riordan. And like the Cranberries, Roszell’s music offers an expansive spin on rock and roll.”

-Canadian Musician Magazine

Shannon Roszell is an indie singer-songwriter from the Kawartha Lakes, northeast of Toronto. Her sound is best characterized as symphonic indie rock, fusing orchestral voicings with searing electric guitar and vocals.

Roszell has been likened to Joni Mitchell for her sense of melodic freedom and the direct connectivity of her lyrics.

Canadian Musician Magazine (Sep-Oct, 2021) featured Roszell writing, “Singer-songwriter Shannon Roszell has been turning heads with her powerful and distinctive voice that elicits memories of the late, great Cranberries front-woman Dolores O’Riordan. And like the Cranberries, Roszell’s music offers an expansive spin on rock and roll.”

An outspoken environmentalist, Roszell is a supporter of the Music Declares Emergency movement and Ecojustice, Canada’s largest environmental law charity.

Roszell’s single, “Gonna Love You” (March 2021), is a post-apocalyptic love song to our damaged earth. “It’s about the constancy of love set in the landscape of environmental decline.”

Produced by Frank Gryner (A Perfect Circle, Rob Zombie, Trent Severn, Emm Gryner), Roszell’s debut album, Within the Shimmering Darkness (Nov 15, 2024), is rich with sonic landscapes as expansive as the view out her farmhouse studio window.

Earshot-Distro named Roszell the Artist of the Week and said, “Combining airy, even partially experimental backing with passionate vocals, the alt-rock singer-songwriter makes a strong and enduring impression.”

Roszell is now booking live singing engagements for 2025 summer and fall, across Canada and in the following cities:

• Toronto
• Kawartha Lakes
• Haliburton
• Greater Toronto Area
• Peterborough
• Ottawa
• London
