Bio

A Kootenay mountain musician…solo multi-instrumental, live looping devotee. Whether on stage, CD, radio or film, Shawn regularly exposes himself as a multi-talented musician across Canada. This is the usual result of intense experiments with electro-organic music, always incorporating new apparatus and instrumentation. In concert he creates deep atmospheric organic grooves with intense acoustic guitar work, powerful vocals, pounding percussion and many other instrumental substances. By playing multiple instruments and deftly controlling several loop stations, he builds live walls of sound which push the boundries of traditional form. String and skin, steel and silicon chips, all meld to produce the kind elemental music you might expect from a collective group of musicians and technicians. After a cross country tour and some regional jaunts, he is hard at work forging his third album in the high mountain air of Ymir, B.C. After winning Instrumental Artist of the Year for 2008 at the B.C. Interior Music awards, Shawn is set to continue his rise from an established regional performer to a nationally recognized talent in the Canadian independent music scene. His previous albums Flood and Snow at the Station, which were recorded by and with Don Kerr (Rheostatics and Ron Sexsmith) received national radio play, licensing deals with Tourism B.C., commercial use on Discovery USA, and soundtrack scores on several independent film projects including Citi Sonatina which was broadcast internationally on Bravo!.
