A native of the Lowcountry, Shannon Tanner has been singing around Hilton Head Island for years and years.  Performing Monday through Wednesday at Shelter Cove Harbour, Shannon offers both family shows and adult shows each evening, with the family show.

A year round professional singer, Shannon performs a broad mixture of popular music, country, folk, standards, and great kid's songs.  There's lots of audience interaction, and the little ones love to join Shannon on the steps of the scenic gazebo stage overlooking to waters of the harbor.

Adults will enjoy this show as much as the kids.  Shannon's excellent acoustic guitar skills combine with a powerful voice reminiscent of James Taylor or David Wilcox to produce a mesmerizing sound without additional musicians.  Every family should enjoy this show.

On Tuesday nights through the middle of the summer, Shelter Cove Harbour bursts alive with a fireworks show at 9:00 PM.  Known as "HarbourFest", this event brings a festival atmosphere to the entire marina.

Come early, as parking is a premium, especially on Tuesday nights.

On Thursday nights, Shannon presents "Parrot Palooza", performing the songs of Jimmy Buffett and similar artists with a full band.  It is a family-friendly show, with some parts interactive for kids.
