My name is Shannon Calkins, I am an actress & singer currently based in New York City, originally from Lexington, KY! I have a bachelor of music in Musical Theatre from Oklahoma City University.

Growing up around classical musicians and strange artists of all sorts, I have always had a deep love and need to use music to express myself and bond with the humans around me. Graduating into this industry during the pandemic has only strengthened my confidence that there is nothing greater in life than connecting to people through music and stories.

In addition to music theatre performance, I also have a deep passion for folk/bluegrass, and jazz music. I am a student of the banjo and piano and take great pride in constantly improving my skills in both!

 I currently work at Don’t Tell Mama in Midtown! Send me a message to find out what days I’ll be there slinging drinks and songs alike.
