Shawnee Kilgore and Susan Gibson

Shawnee Kilgore’s Wonder What Wednesdays began in July 2018 as a challenge to play only original songs for a month of Wednesdays without repeating or playing anything from her then 5 studio albums. She introduced Let That Songbird Bingo (a spin on her musical motto/ethos Let That Songbird Go) and a guest each night to swap songs and each play a surprise cover of the other artist.
There have now been 46 WWW shows at 5 different venues and Shawnee has played 386 original songs. If you’ve heard it on a Wednesday you’ll never hear it at another one! Come see what’s left in the vault and welcome Susan to the WWW fam.
Susan Gibson is a Wimberley, Texas-based singer-songwriter, former lead singer of the alternative country band The Groobees and writer of the Dixie Chicks hit “Wide Open Spaces.”
