On June 4, 2002 Shannon released his first label album called Chase The Sun. Shannon wrote 9 songs of the 10 tracks. His first single off the new album was released to radio stations nationwide in January 2002. The single Goodbye On A Bad Day had great reviews. His second single, (Which Shannon jokes as his "half a single") "Dream Your Way To Me" became a casuality of a corporate merger and stalled at #51.
Goodbye On A Bad Day was inspired by a fear of Shannon's. Shannon moved to Nashville with his wife Mandy the day after they returned from their honeymoon. "We were in a new town, starting a life with the new dynamics of being married, and I thought 'What would I feel life if this person left me?' I would feel like I was in hell, literally. It would ruin everything". Shannon and Mandy are still married and it now appears that Shannon's inspiration for Goodbye On A Bad Day may lead him into the stardom that he has aspired for.

One of the songs on Chase The Sun is Bad Bad Bad. Although the song can be heard in the movie Joshua during a pool hall scene, it is not on the Joshua soundtrack.
Tony Goldwyn (Ghost, The Pelican Brief) stars in this movie, based on the first novel of Joseph Girzone's multi-million selling Joshua series. This film explores the ramifications-spiritual, dramatic and comedic-of a mysterious and seemingly selfless stranger's arrival on a community in Smalltown, America.
