Chattanooga Local Turns Her Sorrow Into Songs
Sunday, January 31, 2021
In 2020, Shanna Forrestall, an established actress and producer, penned her first set of official song lyrics and presented it to her musician, friend and producing partner, Jeff Gold. Within 24 hours he came back with a song that left her breathless.
“Writing lyrics for songs was something I’ve wanted to do my entire life," said Ms. Forrestall. "I remember as a young girl, sitting in the closet to have privacy, and scribbling bits of poems and song lyrics into a small journal. Although I’ve spent my life telling stories as an actress and producer, and most recently as an author of children’s bedtime stories, I had yet to fulfill this life-long dream.”
