Making an endless audio flight to several destinations, Shannon Harris presents Audio Urbanology: The Art of Audio Truism. Six years in the making, the album celebrates and transforms Harris' African roots and Latin/Asian/Middle Eastern influences into an alluring aural narrative, weaving sultry vocals and live instrumentation together. The critically acclaimed project, complete with esoteric artwork, takes you on a symphony orchestrated, fantasy filled trip around the globe. Presenting six dialects from four different continents, Harris' second album truly sets a new standard for the definition of 'world' in music.

The album's main Bassist/Guitarist Junius Paul, has shared the stage with Wynton Marsalis, Donald Byrd, Fred Anderson, Chico DeBarge, Eric Roberson, and KRS-One to name a few.
