From Panorama Music Festival 2018: Shannon and the Clams Interview


CB: Me and Shannon also come from Mormon heritage. That’s cult-lite.


THC: Should I take this out of the interview? Do you guys play Salt Lake City often?

SS: They love it; they always beg us to play “The Cult Song.” A lot of our fans are varying degrees of Mormon—ex Mormons, current Mormons, in between. I love it, I was raised Mormon. But Nate’s great-grandpa had like 10000 wives. 


NM: He had five wives and 56 children, off in the south west of Utah. He was a pioneer Mormon.


THC: Wow, so there’s a lot of Mormon roots in the group. Do you think that influences or informs the music? 


NM: I just think it’s like a strange thing.


SS: You know what though, I wonder if that’s why I love harmonies and stuff so much.
