Guest Speaker: Marc Lee Shannon

“Seven years ago, I had a sense that I could have a better life. I was broken, beaten, and lost with no faith in my future. Through medical treatment and the miracle of a healing community, I got another chance to live.”

Marc Lee Shannon was a member of Michael Stanley’s band, The Resonators, and for more than 25 years, he provided electric, acoustic, baritone, 12-string guitar and mandolin accompaniment for live shows as well as on 22 albums. A veteran studio and touring guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, Shannon’s more than 30-year career has taken him from his hometown of Akron, Ohio to Los Angeles and back again.

A passionate advocate for addiction recovery, he has authored a monthly column, “Sober Chronicles,” for The Devil Strip. His podcast, “Recovery Talks – The Podcast,” features lantern holders and lighthouses that freely share their sobriety and mental health journey.
