About SHANA BLAKE

Versatile Saxophonist • Soulful Singer • Thoughtful Songwriter

Homegrown in Charlotte, North Carolina, Shana Blake has been a long time fixture in the local music community. Influenced by a wide variety of genres throughout her life — the Charlotte Folk Society jams and church music she grew up on, the Celtic and bluegrass fusion projects she was part of, the vast catalogue of soundalike tracks she performed on in the studio, the plethora of bands and recordings to which she’s leant her vocals, and beyond — she applies that diversity to her unique adaptations of cover songs, as well as to her own songwriting. Her thoughtful, honest and cleverly crafted original compositions have been well-received by an array of listeners. Shana’s song, This Is Your Day, was adopted as an anthem for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and her song, “Springer” earned her a spotlight performance on the Jerry Springer Show. She uses her platform as an artist to share messages of unity, love, healing, personal empowerment and inspiration, a calling that she’s very passionate about, both on stage and off. She has a vibe that is free-spirited and fresh, yet familiar, and she always puts the ‘fun’ in funky!
