No.I don't wear toe socks LoL. I only wear shoes/socks, if I really have to...people have safety reasons.Like dance you do and can't wear flip-flops!

I have a personal cellphone number,but it's not given out much.I will consider the options at the time and see what works best for everyone.Thanks! *See the booking business number also.
15.Q:Will you go on American Idol,Nashville Star,America's Got Talent,X Factor,
The Voice, or something similar ever??
A:No; I have been asked this so many times by people LoL.
I would be rich between that and the flip-flop question 13#. :)
There's a lot of reasons why I won't.One, is you can play instruments now, but not original songs a lot of times.Two, there are a lot of reality TV shows trying to find the next "Big thing"three-votes are so hard to get for any contest that requires that.Four, who wants a title that way, known as whatever the show's name is as a former person?Five,it feels restricted,controlled,you are molded into a star, limited if you don't make it pretty far, and the contract or legal mess can be scary.Five, sometimes they add too much to make it bigger if you just want to be small,solo, and low key and personal.So those are some of the reasons. I'm not really interested in the long stressful process either.I have tried local contests, but they are really hard too.(Note: I will NOT do another contests again! I did do one for the last try, but it's not for me they don't appreciate my talents.)I kind of only play it as extra gig at times anyways.:)
16.Q:What type of music and instruments do you play,Do you play anything else,
,Have you played anything else?
A:Acoustic,Acoustic/Electric, and Electric guitars, and my music is all written and performed by me.Originals never, ever cover songs! I'm a female solo/ vocal artist.The style is hard to explain, even though I put a label. I have had many comments on what everyone thought it was such as Blues,Folk,Pop,Country,Oldies.etc.It's mixed and little of everything.Depends on the song I play or write.Come see a show and listen to find out what you think!!!
All ages,backgrounds,religions,and people seem to enjoy this.
I don't play anything else,I think guitar fits me as solo act the best.
But I have tried to play drums,I couldn't find a teacher so gave it up.
Also I use to pick at Piano/Keyboard for a while, but didn't stick with it!
17.Q:Would you consider recording or doing a studio session
for an LP, EP, or a DEMO?
A:I have had so many offers on helping me create my CD's.
Also many business cards/ info/offers given to me.
The fans wanted music now!
I tried to review all the offers and decided to just start out smaller with my CD single for now.
Things are taken care of.Maybe in the future, I'll consider a larger project, then I'll review all offers and options again.Thanks for your interest in my music though and considering good enough to record at your studio! PS.The only way I'd consider recording more, is if I had a record deal with a Major label,or the pro stars were wanting my music to use for payment and use.I would have to record more then to get it on major radios,sales, and to the public around the world.Or if I have more free time and think it's worth working on,to release/ have sales to fans.Right now I have old CD'S left.
18.Q:If I send an email to the address will it be you that reply's?A:Yes; if you send an email I will reply personally to questions,and other messages.The only way I wouldn't reply is if the filters blocked it, the email is spam/junk/fake mail,it's not related to me,music,it's a rude message, or there are no computers,internet,networks,power, or access available.So send it!!!Please DO NOT sign me up for unsolicited mailings, or keep sending the same emails to my email.It will be replied to in 1-3 days, no longer then 7 unless stated above happens.Thanks.
19.Q:Do you have a band, were you in a band ever, have you considered joining one, can I be in your band,do you collaborate with anyone? or do you jam?
A:Nope; just always me a female solo artist: Singer/Songwriter/Musician!-I have also had several real band offers though.Or musicians wanted to join me.Or me to "jam" with them.This is an offer that came up for me from bands/musicians looking to add on.(I'm am now reconsidering band part,possibly starting a band for 2018.Not sure yet but send me your info and will talk about it taking resumes and auditions.)
20.Q:What Do you charge for a show,what will you charge me for an event, what have you got paid for a show,do you get paid for this,and do you play some for FREE, or major Charities?
A:I have had full good paid jobs mostly- I'm professional/paid musician most all of the time.I have had half paid gig jobs.It all depends on how long of a show,the venue itself, and what we workout on how much I get paid.I have done FREE shows on occasion, name brand charity events,full work gigs,donations,tip jars,food/drinks,merchandise/gifts,even exchanges,deals,no budget,low budgets,trades,just sold my merchandise and had a tip jars, and along with fully paid/contract shows/events/jobs.And popular events that are larger crowd based in size, and ticket/reservation/package events.If I'm not paid: I'd like at least have a tip jar, to sell merchandise, meals,or something similar.You listen and decide what you think my shows and I are worth. If your not sure what payments you have in mind.Lets talk about what you'd like to work out it should be fine.I'm flexible and can work around most agreements.I'd like something for my time/expenses/travel to keep going.It helps me and you out too.But I also know some people want music but can't always afford bands so I work with everyone.
21.Q:Would you sell,sign over a contract,or give us permission to use your music,with or without you,work with you to change your music, promote,record,arrange,hire another band/artists to record it,give it for movies,TV,shows, and give it to big named,well established,legends, or stars of music their managers,publishers, producers, and record labels?We be willing to work with you,and you'd receive most,all, or some royalties for each work that was used. But we are only interested in the songs/music from you?Not financially helping you get started as an artist/act or using it as is.
A:This is a Tricky Question in certain deals I may consider letting major artist.etc use my music with holding all my rights and fair payments.The uses of my music would be taken under consideration and of course correct legal matters.But I would not let the music be used for Free or or changed/re-arranged in ways that would not be suitable for me.The songs could be used in other areas like TV,Shows.etc But again I would take all offers under careful view before making my choices.Would consider a deal with producers/managers,Record labels.
I would still like to look at the content my music would be associated with it has to be family friendly! I don't want my music/lyrics changed,subtracted from, and or added to.
They cannot be used without proper permission from me first.In one or all forms, any of media via:radio,TV,albums,print material,online,etc.
Looking for publisher deals that are legit!
NOTE:
A:I have lived in the same place all my life, and I visited a few places in the south but this was mostly after this question, I never lived there.If I did, I guess I'd fit in?I'm not sure. A handful of people have mentioned this to me. I don't hear it.Why do you hear it?I asked a few people that know me and they don't hear this either. Hmmm... Puzzles me.Any comments on this topic?
Thanks for listening to me anyways.Must be fascinating.:)
Where's that at?Are you local?How far is that,what's it close to?
24.
Q:What's with the Head and stuffed animals Ha,Ha, Hmmmm...?
A:It was my fake band but I since stopped bringing them along.Fans gave most to me.
25.
Q:Do you play with a CD or band music in the background at shows?A:No, it's me Live, me playing guitars Live, and me singing my own music Live!!! LoL
Whatever happens it's Live...with or without flaws,goofy moments, and craziness. LoL not perfection of a recorded falseness.Ummm..No Lip sync either.
26.Q:How long have you been doing music?
A:I have performed as a singer all my life, lots of styles that caught my ears in the years.Just started to grow more now with it.But the little over 15 years, I have been more focused on taking a different path.With my own original music,writing skills, and playing my guitars.I feel stepping up from cover songs,music mixes, or back tracks, and moving on has more opportunity for me at this time.Most love karaoke, or accompaniment by musicians, or bands.But I feel I'm more able to be myself as an artist. Get response that people like me and my music in a genuine way.Not because I sound like a person or performed something already popular from an artist today.Who believes that they like "you", just because they liked that popular artist? It's about being yourself let it shine!I like the fact I'm a girl musician,original, and that I'm not like most performers.
I want to spread my music messages to people everywhere and entertain just like a band does but solo, to make a point I can entertain!
27.
Q:How old are you, do go to school, what grade are you in,are you out, can I see an ID, do you go to college, how old are you?What year did you graduate,if you did?,Wonder how old she is,
what do you think? (ha, ha)
A:This is probably another question most asked, some don't ask,others do, and I get them to guess,or they do guess.It's mostly fun to play a guess game.LoL.
Because, I'm not telling on here, and I think it's fun to keep everyone guessing.:)
Ha,Ha,He, He. :)
So there... unless you know me,guess right, or have asked me before, and I said.
I'm not posting it.:)
28.
Q:Are you afraid,terrified, or nervous, in front of people/crowds when you perform. I would be?
A:Never really..I'm use to it now, and the crowds people only fuel my energy.I'm more excited about waiting to go on and start the show.Then actually freaking out about performing for the people.Unless I have something to do, I'm impatient, waiting,walking around, and ready to perform.(Clock watcher)-on time, and ready early.) End on time too.
So No. I'm fine with any size crowd.It's my comfort zone...
I think it would bother me more without nobody listening actually.You the fans or people are what I'm there for.
Now when on break at times I get a little rusty until I get back into gear again, probably half way through the year.Unless more steady in flow of gigs.I'm ready to keep going more.Most excitement when I have a new song and don't know if anyone likes it yet.Nobody is perfect remember that.
And who doesn't want a sock to be free and dream?
30.
35.
Q:Do I listen to music or have favorites that are not my own?,
Has music always been something you loved? Who's your favs?
A: Cover songs or radio:-
I do listen to other songs, always have,had favorites, and even sing along.
Just because I like my own path now, or I have just grown on being me.
Those are things we all grow up around,get inspired by, or use until we build as our own artists,style, and skills.The list goes on...of songs that are cool right?Yes, I love lots of different music always have.
36.
Q:Can you sign/autograph my_____ ?
A:Yes, I'll sign a lot of things CD's,Pics,Photo's,T-Shirts,etc.
I have been asked to sign people's arms,but that washes off ..so give me at least a piece of paper.
So you can keep it and not suffer washing it away if it's on something good. LoL.
I've even signed a bowling ball before.I usually do this/meet and greets at breaks,before the show, and after the show:located at the merchandise table/artist area.Away from the stage areas.
37.
Q:Do people know you, are you well known?
A:Often people claim they know me often,wave,yell out,.etc I have been posted lot.
So I guess when they shout "I know you" or "you look familiar!!!" "Your the girl with the guitar!" that's a clue right?My face seems more memorable, due to my name gets confusing/mixed up for most.
I've had shout outs at a Sheetz and various other places.
I don't know them personally they are not family/friends, they are fans!Or at least remembered me.Kind of surprises me and makes me either laugh, or look to see who's talking to me.
I don't meet all of them, but they have seen,heard, of me,or came to shows, but did meet/ greet.
I have been on/in many outlets/places so far several News-broadcasts,Radios,Promos,Posters,Newsletters,Newspapers, Social Media, Magazines,Websites,Online,Museum/Candy Store,etc.One's who didn't know me do now, and some meet me once, then remember me even a year later.LoL.So far I have covered a pretty nice range always looking for more, to go for more traveling outside the local, which has been started.
A:Mom and Bro use to sing, but not professional/or like me.
Plus, I couldn't get the cover songs.The teachers couldn't teach/didn't know how to help me learn either so I got mad, did this myself.
40.
Q:Do you do gigs/music/tours/this- all season long/full time? Do you work full time or is this part time? What do you do when your off in winter?
A:Yes, pretty much do.I take a full break around Nov or Mid Nov-Dec.
I start back up after New Years Day in Jan,
doing smaller gigs or sometime a big show and smaller spots.Changes each year.
Unless I'd ever get a New Years Eve Party?
The holidays/winter are always too busy/dangerous and my music is not holiday related.
Weather is hard travel issue for me.You can get sick a lot which slows things down.
Sometimes it's slower in Spring.etc, but I have a lot of work to do behind the scenes when not playing music related like paperwork,writing,recording drafts,websites,bookings,promos.etc
I make vintage/modern hats currently still play music/work with that.So I do try to take breaks/have a life outside work like dance.:) So it's pretty much full time job.Big season kicks in around March.My bookings are different each year, so just check to see what all I'm into on my life and tours!
41.
Q:How do you get your shows/how can I book you?
A:Many ways; -most people either hear me live,see it somewhere,refer,recommend me,or I get picked,lists,contacted,searched for,etc Some bookings are right on the spot at gigs! :)
Or people will pass on info to where I should go next, or where they'd like me to play.
Mostly I go where it leads/takes me. Look on; "Music Rules "and "About Shanna Rae" for booking/ more info.

42.
Q:Is your music Christian Religion, would you perform it, or another style?
A:No, not really,not ever, NO, you'll break it,
I don't want it broke so NO!.No, I'm not selling it!
I ordered it from the music store.I'm not really excited about people holding my guitar,
a few guys have wanted to see the guitar I don't know why.
44.
Q:Would you teach me guitar,what you know,give lessons to me, or my child?
A:No, at this point I'm pretty busy with things of my own.I'm also not really wanting to teach guitar lessons.I'm always learning myself every day more and more.
I'm not comfortable trying to teach others.Thanks for asking.
45.
Q:What's the story on the drum, What's the drum for, do you play it?
A:No, I don't play it.I use to take it on tour with me at times.
Got it from Market Street Music in Mechanicsburg,Pa, from Jimmy.
I use to also bring this along but stopped it was heavy LoL.
46.Q:Who inspires/inspired you in music, what artists/kinds of music, and
did you listen to different kinds of music when you were little?
A:Lots of people inspire me no labels really or certain style.
Some artists like The Wilkinsons,Lee ann Womack,
Leann Rimes,Lady A, Patsy Cline,and Elvis.etc
More modern would be various artists such as;Niall Horan,Meghan Trainor,One Direction,Daughtry,Rob Thomas,John Mayor,.etc
So many too many good songs LoL to list.
Really all kinds of music and things/people inspire me!
Yes, I listened many kinds when I was little.
I label my music for the purpose of booking.But really my music is all over the place like me!
Not all songs do I like by the same artists.and really I give props to the writers that wrote the songs.Without them the singers or band couldn't do them,unless they write them themselves, which some do or co-write.
47.Q:How many songs do you have,did you write,when did you write that,how long does it take to write a song for you,how are they so full of wisdom?How long is that song? A:I have many songs,more then 4 hours worth.Too many to choose from/learn.
And I wrote some when I started that are early shorter/simple,some newer ones that are longer/complicated, and the others were in the middle.I have a writing problem more so when I'm busy with a show the night before in the middle of the night, around midnight.Or when something really triggers me. A new song music/lyrics can be wrote/done in a day/few hours,sometimes 2 songs in a day! LoL.They are just songs of life that I come from around me.Anything/anyone can become one of my songs...you never know.Good or bad.When too busy I don't write as much and have a break.
48.Q:Did you paint,put those stickers/designs on your guitar and face?/What kind is it?
A: My old guitar is a Roy Clark Signature, and the others are Daisy Rock * Electric and Acoustic Guitars! I had stickers on my old guitar- (song writer I call it.), then I put temp images. I change it up.I painted the SR~/Heart on it.I keep it cleaned up, but it also gets different images on it if they fade.No, I didn't do the art myself.Yeah I put things on my face LoL I'm different.
49.Q:Do you/are you taking either education/lessons/or a degree in music?
A:NO, I couldn't learn from lessons/classes/teachers much on how to play guitar.And Writing/reading music is something people don't want to teach you right or not at all.Singing/playing/writing were all learned myself.I don't have a degree in music or as a teacher.etc.I did study few things and did learn some about music/basics to teach myself how to get this far.Again I'm always learning something new or different to do with my music and I also like to stay focused on one instrument.Though I've picked at Keyboard/Piano in the past some.And also had wanted to do drums at one time, but couldn't find a teacher to help me learn those.So I stayed with guitar in the end.
50.Q:
Can I have a card,where can I get one,do you have a card?
A:Yes, PLEASE take one they are FREE!!! So many people would like to book me,keep in touch,find me. or look my info up online.
But are not sure where to look,were afraid to ask, or get info at a show.
With the cards it is much easier, although my info is some what easy to find sometimes, I also have an uncommon website name.
A:The cards are usually located at different locations depending on the venues layout.
They can be at a merchandise table, in the heart holder,at the wishing drum tip jar in a holder,I have cards with me walking around, or sometimes my staff has cards.
Just ask if your not sure/can't find one, and we'll make sure you get one before you or I leave!!! :) Just get one it's FREE.....!!!
51.Q:What do you do? or other then being a musician/playing/writing music in other free time?
A:I write,travel, do paperwork,record ruff drafts,look for new bookings,make phone calls,emails,advertise, for the year.etc (Also I stalk people, see if they can do something to make me angry/mad so that I can write a song about it..and get new material.! LOL just kidding. :) -But it does help my writing/music career.)I do other things too outside of all that hobbies.
52.Q:What kind of guitar strings do you use?
A:Cheap ones I go through too many, to buy more expensive.

Or I'll just announce I have merchandise and you may purchase it after, in break, or beside the stage.The sales are discount now and we will not be having any items after it's all sold out!Some placed do not allow vendors/Merchandise tables/sales so you may have to ask for a item from just me.

No.I don't wear toe socks LoL. I only wear shoes/socks, if I really have to...people have safety reasons.Like dance you do and can't wear flip-flops!
14.Q:Do you have phone numbers you be reached at, or Can I have your cell number?

I have a personal cellphone number,but it's not given out much.I will consider the options at the time and see what works best for everyone.Thanks! *See the booking business number also.
15.Q:Will you go on American Idol,Nashville Star,America's Got Talent,X Factor,
The Voice, or something similar ever??
A:No; I have been asked this so many times by people LoL.
I would be rich between that and the flip-flop question 13#. :)
There's a lot of reasons why I won't.One, is you can play instruments now, but not original songs a lot of times.Two, there are a lot of reality TV shows trying to find the next "Big thing"three-votes are so hard to get for any contest that requires that.Four, who wants a title that way, known as whatever the show's name is as a former person?Five,it feels restricted,controlled,you are molded into a star, limited if you don't make it pretty far, and the contract or legal mess can be scary.Five, sometimes they add too much to make it bigger if you just want to be small,solo, and low key and personal.So those are some of the reasons. I'm not really interested in the long stressful process either.I have tried local contests, but they are really hard too.(Note: I will NOT do another contests again! I did do one for the last try, but it's not for me they don't appreciate my talents.)I kind of only play it as extra gig at times anyways.:)
16.Q:What type of music and instruments do you play,Do you play anything else,
,Have you played anything else?
A:Acoustic,Acoustic/Electric, and Electric guitars, and my music is all written and performed by me.Originals never, ever cover songs! I'm a female solo/ vocal artist.The style is hard to explain, even though I put a label. I have had many comments on what everyone thought it was such as Blues,Folk,Pop,Country,Oldies.etc.It's mixed and little of everything.Depends on the song I play or write.Come see a show and listen to find out what you think!!!
All ages,backgrounds,religions,and people seem to enjoy this.
I don't play anything else,I think guitar fits me as solo act the best.
But I have tried to play drums,I couldn't find a teacher so gave it up.
Also I use to pick at Piano/Keyboard for a while, but didn't stick with it!
17.Q:Would you consider recording or doing a studio session
for an LP, EP, or a DEMO?
A:I have had so many offers on helping me create my CD's.
Also many business cards/ info/offers given to me.
The fans wanted music now!
I tried to review all the offers and decided to just start out smaller with my CD single for now.
Things are taken care of.Maybe in the future, I'll consider a larger project, then I'll review all offers and options again.Thanks for your interest in my music though and considering good enough to record at your studio! PS.The only way I'd consider recording more, is if I had a record deal with a Major label,or the pro stars were wanting my music to use for payment and use.I would have to record more then to get it on major radios,sales, and to the public around the world.Or if I have more free time and think it's worth working on,to release/ have sales to fans.Right now I have old CD'S left.
18.Q:If I send an email to the address will it be you that reply's?A:Yes; if you send an email I will reply personally to questions,and other messages.The only way I wouldn't reply is if the filters blocked it, the email is spam/junk/fake mail,it's not related to me,music,it's a rude message, or there are no computers,internet,networks,power, or access available.So send it!!!Please DO NOT sign me up for unsolicited mailings, or keep sending the same emails to my email.It will be replied to in 1-3 days, no longer then 7 unless stated above happens.Thanks.
19.Q:Do you have a band, were you in a band ever, have you considered joining one, can I be in your band,do you collaborate with anyone? or do you jam?
A:Nope; just always me a female solo artist: Singer/Songwriter/Musician!-I have also had several real band offers though.Or musicians wanted to join me.Or me to "jam" with them.This is an offer that came up for me from bands/musicians looking to add on.(I'm am now reconsidering band part,possibly starting a band for 2018.Not sure yet but send me your info and will talk about it taking resumes and auditions.)
20.Q:What Do you charge for a show,what will you charge me for an event, what have you got paid for a show,do you get paid for this,and do you play some for FREE, or major Charities?
A:I have had full good paid jobs mostly- I'm professional/paid musician most all of the time.I have had half paid gig jobs.It all depends on how long of a show,the venue itself, and what we workout on how much I get paid.I have done FREE shows on occasion, name brand charity events,full work gigs,donations,tip jars,food/drinks,merchandise/gifts,even exchanges,deals,no budget,low budgets,trades,just sold my merchandise and had a tip jars, and along with fully paid/contract shows/events/jobs.And popular events that are larger crowd based in size, and ticket/reservation/package events.If I'm not paid: I'd like at least have a tip jar, to sell merchandise, meals,or something similar.You listen and decide what you think my shows and I are worth. If your not sure what payments you have in mind.Lets talk about what you'd like to work out it should be fine.I'm flexible and can work around most agreements.I'd like something for my time/expenses/travel to keep going.It helps me and you out too.But I also know some people want music but can't always afford bands so I work with everyone.
21.Q:Would you sell,sign over a contract,or give us permission to use your music,with or without you,work with you to change your music, promote,record,arrange,hire another band/artists to record it,give it for movies,TV,shows, and give it to big named,well established,legends, or stars of music their managers,publishers, producers, and record labels?We be willing to work with you,and you'd receive most,all, or some royalties for each work that was used. But we are only interested in the songs/music from you?Not financially helping you get started as an artist/act or using it as is.
A:This is a Tricky Question in certain deals I may consider letting major artist.etc use my music with holding all my rights and fair payments.The uses of my music would be taken under consideration and of course correct legal matters.But I would not let the music be used for Free or or changed/re-arranged in ways that would not be suitable for me.The songs could be used in other areas like TV,Shows.etc But again I would take all offers under careful view before making my choices.Would consider a deal with producers/managers,Record labels.
I would still like to look at the content my music would be associated with it has to be family friendly! I don't want my music/lyrics changed,subtracted from, and or added to.
They cannot be used without proper permission from me first.In one or all forms, any of media via:radio,TV,albums,print material,online,etc.
Looking for publisher deals that are legit!
NOTE:
Also contact me regarding signing me to a Major record label company, getting me a manager,publisher, or producer.We are talking about touring,music videos,buses,important legal contracts here.And
if you're willing to work with me personally in recording and distributing my own albums, and making me a star of music industry today.I'm honored that you feel my writing and singing is great.Financially you must take a chance on me. I can't provide the money for this.

Q:Where are you from that you have an southern accent?, Are you from the south, what part?, You sound like you have an accent when you speak?,Why do you speak like that?,You have an accent too!.etc?A:I have lived in the same place all my life, and I visited a few places in the south but this was mostly after this question, I never lived there.If I did, I guess I'd fit in?I'm not sure. A handful of people have mentioned this to me. I don't hear it.Why do you hear it?I asked a few people that know me and they don't hear this either. Hmmm... Puzzles me.Any comments on this topic?
Thanks for listening to me anyways.Must be fascinating.:)
23.
Q:Are you from PA, you look new?,Where are you from, Where's that at?Are you local?How far is that,what's it close to?
A:Yes,I'm from PA,I'm from hometown: "Pleasant Hall".
I know.. it's very small, and is actually labeled as a "village", the closest larger towns are 30mins away from me in Shippensburg and Chambersburg,Pa.Nothing here that's why I must travel out.So don't feel bad that I like to go to gigs or places far away.I must, so book me!And mostly nobody knows what I'm talking about.LoL
24.
Q:What's with the Head and stuffed animals Ha,Ha, Hmmmm...?
A:It was my fake band but I since stopped bringing them along.Fans gave most to me.
25.
Q:Do you play with a CD or band music in the background at shows?A:No, it's me Live, me playing guitars Live, and me singing my own music Live!!! LoL
Whatever happens it's Live...with or without flaws,goofy moments, and craziness. LoL not perfection of a recorded falseness.Ummm..No Lip sync either.
26.Q:How long have you been doing music?
A:I have performed as a singer all my life, lots of styles that caught my ears in the years.Just started to grow more now with it.But the little over 15 years, I have been more focused on taking a different path.With my own original music,writing skills, and playing my guitars.I feel stepping up from cover songs,music mixes, or back tracks, and moving on has more opportunity for me at this time.Most love karaoke, or accompaniment by musicians, or bands.But I feel I'm more able to be myself as an artist. Get response that people like me and my music in a genuine way.Not because I sound like a person or performed something already popular from an artist today.Who believes that they like "you", just because they liked that popular artist? It's about being yourself let it shine!I like the fact I'm a girl musician,original, and that I'm not like most performers.
I want to spread my music messages to people everywhere and entertain just like a band does but solo, to make a point I can entertain!
27.
Q:How old are you, do go to school, what grade are you in,are you out, can I see an ID, do you go to college, how old are you?What year did you graduate,if you did?,Wonder how old she is,
what do you think? (ha, ha)
A:This is probably another question most asked, some don't ask,others do, and I get them to guess,or they do guess.It's mostly fun to play a guess game.LoL.
Because, I'm not telling on here, and I think it's fun to keep everyone guessing.:)
Ha,Ha,He, He. :)
So there... unless you know me,guess right, or have asked me before, and I said.
I'm not posting it.:)
28.
Q:Are you afraid,terrified, or nervous, in front of people/crowds when you perform. I would be?
A:Never really..I'm use to it now, and the crowds people only fuel my energy.I'm more excited about waiting to go on and start the show.Then actually freaking out about performing for the people.Unless I have something to do, I'm impatient, waiting,walking around, and ready to perform.(Clock watcher)-on time, and ready early.) End on time too.
So No. I'm fine with any size crowd.It's my comfort zone...
I think it would bother me more without nobody listening actually.You the fans or people are what I'm there for.
Now when on break at times I get a little rusty until I get back into gear again, probably half way through the year.Unless more steady in flow of gigs.I'm ready to keep going more.Most excitement when I have a new song and don't know if anyone likes it yet.Nobody is perfect remember that.
29.
Q:Is your site named from Harry P series?
A:Yes, it is I liked the "Dobby" the best from that LoL.And who doesn't want a sock to be free and dream?
30.
Q:Can or why can't I take video,sound recordings, or copy and use your music/lyrics with or without your permission? Or write stuff like that down?
A:NO,NO,and NO! For full rules on this and about my music,shows,etc please read-"Shanna Rae Music Rules Page".
31.
Q:Do you do holiday shows,Christmas show/events,etc?
A:No, not currently and that would fall under using other people's music, or I'd have to write more on my own on those subjects.Those who travel,college break,school break,and celebrate Thanksgiving.Plus, I feel this counts out Hanukkah (Chanukah),Kwanzaa,people not celebrating, other religions beliefs,and with just celebrating Christmas, this limits people to come to shows anyways.Weather is another factor that may be hard for me to keep my show dates,and travel out.
Some people are not into the holidays even, if you have music and cheerful events.
I always usually take break Mid Nov-Feb,
unless otherwise stated.It's always left open for bookings.
New Years Eve/ Day, would be an optional thing that I'd play for. That's also if it's workable.Thanks for your interest.
32.
Q:Will you/are you coming back again to this area,venue,event,location, or would you travel to my area/any place, When will we see you again?
A:Sure It will probably be about a year later to return.Unless you book me before then.Or I get the chance to come back.I hope sooner for some places.But if my music is liked and everyone had fun. I'll be back if possible.And yes I'll travel to areas that want me to play!I always like new places!Don't count me out because of distance,time, and travel.Sometimes I can't come back due to booking/company issues.Some places are full, or closed.So it all depends.
33.
Q: Is your name fake or a stage name?That sounds like a artist name.Am I saying your name right?
A:No; it's my real name! So yeah it's my name.Hmmmmmmm or is it?
LoL All artist's have to be a little mysterious...
Another thing,that I won't post.LoL but has been questioned by some.
It's ok not everyone gets my name right first time.LoL
Is this your path and career choice?
A:That would be a big decision, if my life was given the chance, I'd have to move if I wanted to or needed to.I'd love to travel more in states/different areas though for now.Whatever makes life easier.I take whatever comes my way, it all happens for a reason.If my career has to move on, or I get to tour to bigger places lets go.I'm ready.I travel out,and for now I'm passing through then heading back home.I'm not really sure if I want to be too big though.:) I'm doing pretty well and this is my job/career path.

34.
Q:Would you move away if you would hit it big?,Are you going for the big time?,Is this your path and career choice?
A:That would be a big decision, if my life was given the chance, I'd have to move if I wanted to or needed to.I'd love to travel more in states/different areas though for now.Whatever makes life easier.I take whatever comes my way, it all happens for a reason.If my career has to move on, or I get to tour to bigger places lets go.I'm ready.I travel out,and for now I'm passing through then heading back home.I'm not really sure if I want to be too big though.:) I'm doing pretty well and this is my job/career path.
35.
Q:Do I listen to music or have favorites that are not my own?,
Has music always been something you loved? Who's your favs?
A: Cover songs or radio:-
I do listen to other songs, always have,had favorites, and even sing along.
Just because I like my own path now, or I have just grown on being me.
Those are things we all grow up around,get inspired by, or use until we build as our own artists,style, and skills.The list goes on...of songs that are cool right?Yes, I love lots of different music always have.
36.
Q:Can you sign/autograph my_____ ?
A:Yes, I'll sign a lot of things CD's,Pics,Photo's,T-Shirts,etc.
I have been asked to sign people's arms,but that washes off ..so give me at least a piece of paper.
So you can keep it and not suffer washing it away if it's on something good. LoL.
I've even signed a bowling ball before.I usually do this/meet and greets at breaks,before the show, and after the show:located at the merchandise table/artist area.Away from the stage areas.
37.
Q:Do people know you, are you well known?
A:Often people claim they know me often,wave,yell out,.etc I have been posted lot.
So I guess when they shout "I know you" or "you look familiar!!!" "Your the girl with the guitar!" that's a clue right?My face seems more memorable, due to my name gets confusing/mixed up for most.
I've had shout outs at a Sheetz and various other places.
I don't know them personally they are not family/friends, they are fans!Or at least remembered me.Kind of surprises me and makes me either laugh, or look to see who's talking to me.
I don't meet all of them, but they have seen,heard, of me,or came to shows, but did meet/ greet.
I have been on/in many outlets/places so far several News-broadcasts,Radios,Promos,Posters,Newsletters,Newspapers, Social Media, Magazines,Websites,Online,Museum/Candy Store,etc.One's who didn't know me do now, and some meet me once, then remember me even a year later.LoL.So far I have covered a pretty nice range always looking for more, to go for more traveling outside the local, which has been started.
38.
Q:Is anyone in your family a band member or musician/or sing?
A:Nope; just me.A:Mom and Bro use to sing, but not professional/or like me.
39.
Q:Where did you learn how to play guitar and write music?
A:On my own, I was determined to be different, and felt I was missing something.Plus, I couldn't get the cover songs.The teachers couldn't teach/didn't know how to help me learn either so I got mad, did this myself.
40.
Q:Do you do gigs/music/tours/this- all season long/full time? Do you work full time or is this part time? What do you do when your off in winter?
A:Yes, pretty much do.I take a full break around Nov or Mid Nov-Dec.
I start back up after New Years Day in Jan,
doing smaller gigs or sometime a big show and smaller spots.Changes each year.
Unless I'd ever get a New Years Eve Party?
The holidays/winter are always too busy/dangerous and my music is not holiday related.
Weather is hard travel issue for me.You can get sick a lot which slows things down.
Sometimes it's slower in Spring.etc, but I have a lot of work to do behind the scenes when not playing music related like paperwork,writing,recording drafts,websites,bookings,promos.etc
I make vintage/modern hats currently still play music/work with that.So I do try to take breaks/have a life outside work like dance.:) So it's pretty much full time job.Big season kicks in around March.My bookings are different each year, so just check to see what all I'm into on my life and tours!
41.
Q:How do you get your shows/how can I book you?
A:Many ways; -most people either hear me live,see it somewhere,refer,recommend me,or I get picked,lists,contacted,searched for,etc Some bookings are right on the spot at gigs! :)
Or people will pass on info to where I should go next, or where they'd like me to play.
Mostly I go where it leads/takes me. Look on; "Music Rules "and "About Shanna Rae" for booking/ more info.

42.
Q:Is your music Christian Religion, would you perform it, or another style?
A:I don't do any kind of cover songs,holiday music, religious, or in any style of music other then my own.I have played at church event before.I just can't with the business be labeled. Covers not allowed under the rules.Others don't have this restriction, but even if I wanted I can't. It's not my own music/me, I don't own rights, and I couldn't get paid for a job. No, my music is not labeled or intended to be religious.It is clean,family friendly, open to everyone regardless of age/background.etc.Enjoyed by everyone.The messages,stories,lessons,advice,healing,
and manor that it's presented may seem like it is.
So yes, it's suitable for a Christian environment/audience,folk struggling,and examples to younger or troubled generations,youth groups,schools,colleges,.etc
if you need to know.
I don't want to be closed off, reject, or label it in a certain religion/category/ages.etc
Cause I feel it's not categorized or meant to be like that.

Cause I feel it's not categorized or meant to be like that.
This is just the way I run it.And my music is open to anyone who listens.
43.
Q:Can I touch,hold, or play your guitars please,would you sell your guitar?Where did you get your guitar/Barbie Guitar,I like it- A:No, not really,not ever, NO, you'll break it,
I don't want it broke so NO!.No, I'm not selling it!
I ordered it from the music store.I'm not really excited about people holding my guitar,
a few guys have wanted to see the guitar I don't know why.
44.
Q:Would you teach me guitar,what you know,give lessons to me, or my child?
A:No, at this point I'm pretty busy with things of my own.I'm also not really wanting to teach guitar lessons.I'm always learning myself every day more and more.
I'm not comfortable trying to teach others.Thanks for asking.
45.
Q:What's the story on the drum, What's the drum for, do you play it?
A:No, I don't play it.I use to take it on tour with me at times.
Got it from Market Street Music in Mechanicsburg,Pa, from Jimmy.
I use to also bring this along but stopped it was heavy LoL.
46.Q:Who inspires/inspired you in music, what artists/kinds of music, and
did you listen to different kinds of music when you were little?
A:Lots of people inspire me no labels really or certain style.
Some artists like The Wilkinsons,Lee ann Womack,
Leann Rimes,Lady A, Patsy Cline,and Elvis.etc
More modern would be various artists such as;Niall Horan,Meghan Trainor,One Direction,Daughtry,Rob Thomas,John Mayor,.etc
So many too many good songs LoL to list.
Really all kinds of music and things/people inspire me!
Yes, I listened many kinds when I was little.
I label my music for the purpose of booking.But really my music is all over the place like me!
Not all songs do I like by the same artists.and really I give props to the writers that wrote the songs.Without them the singers or band couldn't do them,unless they write them themselves, which some do or co-write.
47.Q:How many songs do you have,did you write,when did you write that,how long does it take to write a song for you,how are they so full of wisdom?How long is that song? A:I have many songs,more then 4 hours worth.Too many to choose from/learn.
And I wrote some when I started that are early shorter/simple,some newer ones that are longer/complicated, and the others were in the middle.I have a writing problem more so when I'm busy with a show the night before in the middle of the night, around midnight.Or when something really triggers me. A new song music/lyrics can be wrote/done in a day/few hours,sometimes 2 songs in a day! LoL.They are just songs of life that I come from around me.Anything/anyone can become one of my songs...you never know.Good or bad.When too busy I don't write as much and have a break.
48.Q:Did you paint,put those stickers/designs on your guitar and face?/What kind is it?
A: My old guitar is a Roy Clark Signature, and the others are Daisy Rock * Electric and Acoustic Guitars! I had stickers on my old guitar- (song writer I call it.), then I put temp images. I change it up.I painted the SR~/Heart on it.I keep it cleaned up, but it also gets different images on it if they fade.No, I didn't do the art myself.Yeah I put things on my face LoL I'm different.
49.Q:Do you/are you taking either education/lessons/or a degree in music?
A:NO, I couldn't learn from lessons/classes/teachers much on how to play guitar.And Writing/reading music is something people don't want to teach you right or not at all.Singing/playing/writing were all learned myself.I don't have a degree in music or as a teacher.etc.I did study few things and did learn some about music/basics to teach myself how to get this far.Again I'm always learning something new or different to do with my music and I also like to stay focused on one instrument.Though I've picked at Keyboard/Piano in the past some.And also had wanted to do drums at one time, but couldn't find a teacher to help me learn those.So I stayed with guitar in the end.
Can I have a card,where can I get one,do you have a card?
A:Yes, PLEASE take one they are FREE!!! So many people would like to book me,keep in touch,find me. or look my info up online.
But are not sure where to look,were afraid to ask, or get info at a show.
With the cards it is much easier, although my info is some what easy to find sometimes, I also have an uncommon website name.
A:The cards are usually located at different locations depending on the venues layout.
They can be at a merchandise table, in the heart holder,at the wishing drum tip jar in a holder,I have cards with me walking around, or sometimes my staff has cards.
Just ask if your not sure/can't find one, and we'll make sure you get one before you or I leave!!! :) Just get one it's FREE.....!!!
51.Q:What do you do? or other then being a musician/playing/writing music in other free time?
A:I write,travel, do paperwork,record ruff drafts,look for new bookings,make phone calls,emails,advertise, for the year.etc (Also I stalk people, see if they can do something to make me angry/mad so that I can write a song about it..and get new material.! LOL just kidding. :) -But it does help my writing/music career.)I do other things too outside of all that hobbies.
52.Q:What kind of guitar strings do you use?

12#CD's Press-kits Requests.
I can mail or drop them off,but this can waste my time/your's.
I've got many shows without them.
There's limited music samples online.My CD is only 1 song sample.
And are for sale,not free.Press-kits not used should be destroyed, due to personal info not posted shared/seen, or they can be returned back,mailed to me,/picked up if possible,if dropped off.So we can re-use some of the materials.Please consider if you really need/want them when the same info is online/or by request email.Some say they have too many kits that just sit around.Also request a live audition with me, if online does not work and I'm close to workout something in your area/time frames.Also see online RPK.
