Shawndell Marks winner of Madison Area Music Awards Pop/R&B Performer of the Year 2018
PRESS FOR BROKEN DAM, winner of 5 Madison Area Music Awards including Pop/R&B Album of the Year 2017:
"Broken Dam is Marks’ third recording, following 2005’s Remnants of Crazy and 2011’s Little Things EP. There’s been a clear trajectory and Broken Dam is most impressive for its experimentalism, arrangements and the honesty with which Marks approaches her subject matter. 'The lyrics are questions that arise as you step out of your comfort zone, speak truths, make controversial decisions and live out loud' says Marks. 'Hence the title; all hell can break loose.' It is the sound of Marks coming into her own with dignity and conviction; you can almost hear the growth happening in the grooves. It’s a challenging record, deep but beautiful; an artistic achievement for Marks and the heralding of another important musician that Madison is so lucky to nurture and have in our midst. Here’s hoping the next one doesn’t take five years." - Rick Tvedt, Local Sounds Magazine. Full review.
