The Plum Trees play folk music built around the songs and stories of Western Australian musician Shannon Marangon. Her vocal style is both powerful yet fragile and brings a dreamy, ethereal vibe to the stage—drawing easy comparisons to the likes of Julia Stone and Stevie Nicks.
Shannon started a duo at home with her brother Clancy in WA before a wild chapter took them over to Beijing. There, they formed a full band, released an EP and played some incredible festival stages, including The Mushroom Festival, Dream Sonic, and Fête de la Musique.
These days, her brother remains in China and Shannon is settled into the slower pace of Dunsborough, WA. Inspired by nature and the South West, Shannon is back to doing what she loves: writing, recording, and sharing raw, melody-driven folk music led by her unmistakable voice.

“God Gave Me Something’ is an absolute gilt-edged gem. And, the rate at which Shannon works her musical vehicle, The Plum Trees, it won’t stay hidden for long. Next time I listen I might just get out my uke and play along.” - Andrea Thompson
“Hey!’ is a song filled with the sing-along goodness of a one-word chorus — Heeeeeeeyyyeey — and over-the-horizon melancholy that punctuates the song’s irrepressible, head bobbing appeal. Light and shade is where it’s at and The Plum Trees have it all in perfect balance with this track, which I feel is both a portent of things to come and a timeless Plum Trees classic.” - Andrea Thompson
