7. Alcohol (Acoustic Version) “Like a dead man holding me, we’re buried six years deep, I can’t escape from this disease.”
Addiction is an infectious disease that affects everyone around the addicted. You don’t realize it when you are in the midst of it, but at some point, you find yourself addicted to the vicious cycle as much as the one addicted is to the substance. My addiction to trying to fix him was just as life-altering as his addiction to alcohol.
Album: War & Peace
Release Date: April 1, 2016
Label: LaBrie Records and BUTR Records LLC
Nashville based singer-songwriter Shannon LaBrie has a sound that defies genres and tells insightful stories from an authentic place. She instantly became a favorite among music fans and critics alike with her powerful 2013 debut 'Just Be Honest'. With the hit lead single, “I Remember a Boy,” the independent release reached inside the Top Ten on iTunes and the Triple A Radio charts. Famed music blogger Bob Lefsetz wrote, “This track affected me. Made me believe like the great singer-songwriters of yore, maybe this woman has something to say. That in this crazy, mixed up, shoot-up world she can illuminate her story and people can relate.”
“When I listen to music,” LaBrie says, “a lot of times, it’s to make me feel good. But a lot of other times, it’s to make me not feel alone. So this next record is about embracing who I am and where I’m from. I am a Midwest girl. I grew up on an acreage in Nebraska, swinging around on old oak trees. I grew up really quickly and this album is a hindsight look into my past and learning how to embrace it in the present.”
The Austin Chronicle calls LaBrie, “a true guitarist singer/songwriter whose soulful voice’s sensual honey-crisp highs brings to mind the late, great Jeff Buckley.” She has opened for Dixon, Phoenix, ZZ Ward, The Head and the Heart, The Wild Feathers, Michael Franti and Valerie June. Her résumé includes South By Southwest, the Austin City Limits Festival, Road to the Hangout and Road to Bonnaroo.
