On the show this time, it’s the joy and heartbreak R&B of Shannon & the Clams.

Shannon & The Clams formed when bassist Shannon Shaw met guitarist Cody Blanchard at the California College of the Arts. The band is rounded out by Nate Mahan on drums and Will Sprott on Keys, and for this performance Victor Franco on percussion. They play unapologetically weird pop — a sometimes surfy blend of psych-rock, doo wop, and R&B.  They released their seventh album in 2024, a vivid, intense tribute-to, and celebration-of Joe Haener, Shannon’s fiance, who died in a tragic car accident in 2022. The record is called The Moon is in the Wrong Place and is available on Easy Eye Sound.

Recorded July 24, 2024.
