“Shawn could walk into a room full of strangers and in a moment capture them all with a song. Her powerful voice cuts through the listener like a diamond on glass. Give her a guitar and it's all over... you're a fan. ”
— Sarah Francis - Musicshopper
Shawn James
Vocals, Guitar and Keyboards
Shawn is an accomplished guitarist and award winning singer /songwriter. You will find her music intelligent and earthy -- like a dash of Joni Mitchell with a sprinkle of Sheryl Crow. Her original compositions lace provocative lyrics in memorable tunes as she contemplates life, love and the world around her.
Also performing regularly as a solo artist, she delights audiences with renditions of the songs she normally plays with the full band, but delivered in a more intimate, “un-plugged” style.
Shawn has been touring the Southeastern United States, captivating audiences wherever she goes.
