RF Shannon has been played on NTS shows including Cosmic Dreamer Radio, with Tell My Horse first played on 22 May 2017.

RF Shannon is American musician Shane Renfro. He was born in the Texas panhandle and raised in the pines of East Texas. This stark contrast of scenery would eventually come to inform the hazy pastoral music that he creates. RF Shannon maintains an unnameable quality to their brand of Texas music, though some attempts have served apt at times: Desert Blues, Deconstructed Americana, Western Gothic. "I've never really cared to figure it out. I like the idea of a Southwestern sound. That's my haunt. We're too country for the indie world, not country enough for the Americana crowd. Too mellow for the psych scene, too Texas thunderstorm for the California sunshine".

What began in 2014 as an experiment in psychomagic with the intention of healing ancestral gaps (RF Shannon is the name Renfro would see on pieces of mail as a child addressed to his late grandfather) became an enduring expression of unique songwriting.

“I think we carry a lot of ghosts, individually and collectively, from a lack of connecting with the process of living and dying well, I think our individualistic tendencies have unintentionally orphaned us in some way,” Renfro says. “In our songs I am drawn to calling up oneiric images, symbols, unknown things, and wrapping them gently in a tapestry of my musical influences— namely country and old soul music.”
