Life is a Circus, Marty’s debut solo album, is already garnering critical acclaim. The album is a wonderfully creative blend of singer/songwriter, rock, and country. “Growing up, my father was a big Country & Western fan and I can still remember him singing along while I looked through his record collection,” recalls Marty. The influence Marty takes from that genre finds a better home alongside alt. country artists like Wilco and Red House Painters than it does next to traditional country artists. Life is a Circus has a free flowing and natural sound to it, striking a delicate balance between the aforementioned artists and rock bands such as U2 and Sister Hazel, yet remaining uniquely Marty Shaughnessy. This combination of influences flows like a river, carving its own niche out of a vast musical landscape.
