Yes Matt, but "exposure" doesn't necessarily translate to radio airplay. Top 40 country radio tends to shy away from female rockers, although Miranda Lambert is doing her best to bust that wall down. Shawna has a style that might work well on the "Red Dirt" circuit in Oklahoma and Texas but not on mainstream country radio. Shawna needs to land a spot on a tour opening for an artist like Jason Aldean where she could connect directly with the audience. I doubt her personal aspirations for nationwide airplay and recognition will come anytime soon, unless she targeted Americana radio (or maybe she already has? Hmmm...).
