Singer Shana Halligan to join Beat Nite at Middle Ridge

Beat Nite at Middle Ridge Winery will include a special guest on Monday,
September 23, singer/songwriter Shana Halligan. Shana is currently
teaching songwriting at the Idyllwild Arts Academy and will be singing
some of her original songs at the end of the evening. The program will
start with “ten Evolutionary poets” who will read their work accompanied
by Paul Carman and Marshall Hawkins.

Series organizer Myra Dutton explained Halligan’s Idyllwild connection;
her father was Dick Halligan, “Grammy award winner from the band Blood,
Sweat and Tears,” who lived part-time in Idyllwild, passing away at the
beginning of 2022

Shana has cut her own swath in the world, first as part of the “trip
hop” duo Bitter:Sweet, and then in various collaborations in the US and
Europe. She began releasing solo albums in 2012, selling over half a
million records. She performed her second album, Back to Me, live on
KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic in 2016, and this mesmerizing
performance is still up at the show’s website.

Beat Nite with special guest Shana Halligan, Monday September 23, 6:30-
8:30 p.m., Middle Ridge Winery, 54301 North Circle Dr. Free, with wine
and refreshments available for purchase.
