Shawna Virago San Francisco, California
Shawna Virago is one of America’s first openly transwomen to tour nationally, performing as her true self since the early
nineties.
"The fairy godmother of trans country artists, Virago writes & performs a potent mix of folk, alt-country, and punk. Her music is easily on par with the great country lyricists – Guy Clarke, Townes Van Zandt and Lucinda Williams." - Rainbow Rodeo.
