Dozens of Shawn James concerts every year

Born in 1986, Shawn James found he had a passion for music from a young age. He sang in the church choir and went on to take music lessons during his time at school (much like The Bones of J.R. Jones, a similar musician). After working as a sound technician, he moved to Fayetteville in Arkansas in 2012, drawn to the city by its vibrant music scene. Inspired by legends like Otis Redding and Tom Waits, he began busking around the city and playing small gigs in bars, and he then recorded his first album "Shadows" in his home studio and self-released it. From then on, his career went from strength to strength, and over the following years, he would release several more albums, including "The Dark & The Light", which was produced by Jimmy Messer (a man who has worked with similar musicians like The White Buffalo). He became a prolific tourer, too: there tend to be around 200 Shawn James concerts every year, all across the world.

Shawn James: authentic, powerful, emotional

The power and emotion of Shawn James’ music is highlighted by the fact that it has appeared on so many TV shows and video games. The song "Omens" was used as the theme song for the Discovery Channel show "Yukon Men", and other songs of his have appeared on programs such as "Shameless" on HBO and "Reckless" on CBS. Plus, the track "Through the Valley" was used in the Sony game The Last of Us Part II. He’s also well known for playing and touring with his band, Shawn James and the Shapeshifters, who play similar music, although with more of a rock vibe. Aside from his own fantastically-written music, he has performed a number of covers that have been met with critical acclaim. One example is the track "I Try" by Macy Gray, and many would argue that Shawn James’ version is even more emotional and raw than the original.
