Shawn James (Acoustic)

HAUNTING FOLK // DARK RAW BLUES // POWERFUL SOUL

His blend of blues, folk & soul music is full of contrasts -- dark and light, anger and joy, earthy and airborne while remaining gritty and real.

Since releasing his first album in the fall of 2012, his music has reached millions of people. His songs have been featured on CBS, HBO, The Discovery Channel and most recently in Sony Playstations trailer for their upcoming blockbuster game The Last of Us 2.

Shawn James brings extreme passion to his music. You feel it in the imaginative, highly nuanced songwriting and see it in the powerful live shows where theres never the slightest hesitation and nothing is held back. And, most importantly, you can hear it resonate in Shawns most powerful instrument: the unique, soulful voice that sounds like it is literally being torn out of his heartand it is something you wont soon forget.
