Moonshine Martinis: A 60s & 70s Country Cabaret is takes a look at city life through the eyes of a country girl. After spending 10 years in the city, Shannon takes a look at how country music influenced (and still influences) her life. Old country favorites and more obscure pieces will cover a wide range of subject matter from love with "If We're Not Back in Love by Monday" to heartbreak with "She's Got You". Outlaw country including the rambling "Mama Tried" will give way to southern gospel with "Peace in the Valley". There are also pieces focusing on humor, feminism, relationships and politics.
