Previously featured on our FreeV site, Music Television is very pleased to present two epic live music videos of one of the greatest emerging guitarists on the scene, Shannon Lauren Callihan, who has a distinct & lovely soul voice and songwriting style.
In the filmed performances below, two separate and very tasty bands back Callihan.
In the first song titled Don't Make Sense, a gospel inspired soul song, it features a great drummer named Nate Felty and a stellar lineup of players, including horns and background vocalists that we don't yet have a listing of.
The second song, titled Try, is backed by "The Pitch Meeting Band" (full credits below), and they cop a tasty soul groove slightly reminiscent in style to timeless classics from Boz Scaggs & Michael McDonald, except the sound is uniquely all Shannon. She certainly is all original.
Shannon Callihan is a breath of fresh air in the world of modern music that too often creates idols out of artificially generated music. Callihan has proven to be about real musicians, always with a tight organic sound that is rare. She is a very independent artist of substance who manages to retain some of the finest session musicians to back her excellent growing repertoire, whether it's live or in the studio.
Shannon Lauren Callihan is the poster child for a new genre that should be called Nashville Soul.
Please press the play button on the video below and choose the high
resolution & full screen options. At the conclusion of this song, the second song and
over one hour of handpicked music videos will continue to play
automatically.

Esperanza Spalding - 12 Little Spells
Notes from Esperanza about 12 Little Spells:
"12 Little Spells" (Thoracic Spine)
grounded sensation of perpetual connection with the immensity of the
external world.
for increased oxygen and circulatory support from the external world to
anatomical and/or energetic lungs and heart. Via sensations of the
conversational exchange - circulation - between the abundant “outside”
and our internal body. Grounding the sensation of infinite exchange with
external systems of support, in the bellows of our rib-cage cavity,
mounted on the spinal pole.
Esperanza Spalding - To Tide Us Over
Notes from Esperanza about To Tide Us Over:
"To Tide Us Over" (Mouth)
tide like swelling forth- via language- of inner perceptions, hopes and revelations...
For the ability to speak sweet-water clarity during a flood of un-potable, and indescribable feelings and experiences.
Esperanza Spalding - Til The Next Full
Notes from Esperanza about Til The Next Full:
"Til the Next Full" (Eyes)
x-ray vision through presentational reality to Source within the
interior of all matter(s)... For increasing a sense of possibility that sustains vision through the
illusory “un-fulfillment” stages, inherent in all development periods.
Aides in revealing the hidden potentials behind ‘sight’ based perception
filling the faculty of sight.
Esperanza Spalding - Thang
Notes from Esperanza about Thang:
"Thang" (Hips)
release of tension in, or rejection of, the hips shape/design with sense
of sinking into the mechanism of the hip sockets' natural range of
motion while walking...
For moving into the fullness of one’s individuality, their “thang”
expressed in the unique gait of an un-inhibited stride.
Esperanza Spalding - Touch In Mine
Notes from Esperanza about Touch In Mine:
"Touch in Mine" (Fingers)
heightened faculty of trans-touch sense perception in finger-tips... For increasing the level of tenderness in one’s touch, and perceiving
and comprehending communication exchanges between animate or in-animate
surfaces and the fingertips. increases the sensitivity to vibrational
conversation, neurogamy and empathetic response between two or more
individuals touching. aides in becoming aware of the energetic exchanges
between the fingertips, fingers and palms when they come in contact
with any surface (animate or in-animate). To listen with touch, through
surfaces, and decipher the information emitted from them.
Esperanza Spalding - The Longing Deep Down
Notes from Esperanza about The Longing Deep Down:
"The Longing Deep Down" (Abdominal Portal)
lessening of the fear of drowning in hidden dark waters, pooled in the
depths of self-hood... For willingness to stretch ones feet into the depths of personal pain,
shame, loneliness and desire. Promise of stepping stones laid along the
bottom of that dark river, that meet the daring foot, dissolve terror
and form a submerged path leading to the fountain mouth of true
belonging, being and purpose.
Esperanza Spalding - You Have To Dance
Notes from Esperanza about You Have To Dance:
"You Have to Dance" (Feet)
ability to move one’s feet freely in accompaniment with the movement of
one’s inner feeling and/or musical stimulus (internal or external)...
For un-locking, releasing and sending -through movement- the magic in
one’s own body.
Esperanza Spalding - Now Know
Notes from Esperanza about Now Know:
"Now Know" (Solar Portal)
sensation across the mid riff of a gill and/or eyelid opening which
breathes and/or peers in 4 directions: heavenly dimension in/earthly
plane out, and, earthly plane in/heavenly dimension out...
For opening the portal connecting heaven and earth, the eye of
intuition. Inward vision of heaven contained within, transmitting sight
to earth plane (and vice-versa) widening the lid to the blue orb of
divinity, socketed in the midriff.
Esperanza Spalding - All Limbs Are
Notes from Esperanza about All Limbs Are:
"All Limbs Are" (Arms)
the embrace of masculine sacred felt cradling the shoulders and arms...
For relieving the loneliness and disorientation felt from the absence of
fathers. To experience the connection to lineage trees growing through
one’s limbs, and experience the presence of masculine support and
expansion through one’s own arm bones.
Esperanza Spalding - Readying To Rise
Notes from Esperanza about Readying To Rise:
"Readying to Rise" (Legs)
a physical remembering of steps taken, physically or existentially,
which may have been forgotten by conscious memory...
For recognizing progress one has made, but doesn’t feel. Affirms that
every step taken has added up to the present point, and that effort
exerted is forever contained in the memory of the legs. enables the
forward leaning mind to listen to the legs when the legs offer
guidance-from their memory mappings of distance traveled- by recalling
each step taken thus far.
Esperanza Spalding - Dancing The Animal
Notes from Esperanza about Dancing The Animal:
"Dancing the Animal" (Mind)
thought, inquiry and analysis momentarily surrender to experiential
presence and response...
For remembering the perfected animal buried in the cultural programs of
thought processes, belief systems, and thought-based searching. Expels
the tyrants of hamster-ball concern loops or stimulation loops imposing
themselves on our minds via smartphones, Youtube, google and social
media. Triggers the memory of grace, and whets the sensory appetite for
intra-personal regard, and Self-cultivated esteem.
Esperanza Spalding - With Others
Notes from Esperanza about With Others
"With Others" (Ears)
disarmament of defenses and weaponry built around love-induced
vulnerability...
For hearing in historical accounts, casual exchanges, news reports,
songs, poems, poor-english, recovery testimony, threats, denials,
intellectual oration, convictions, prayers, rejections, demands, cries,
laughter and silence, all the terrifying vulnerability and singly
transformative force of the human capacity for loving others.
