An Evening with Shawn James

About the Event

Afton Ticketing is the official ticketing source and partner of The Old Church Concert Hall.

 

Hey there, this is Shawn James.


I’ve had way too many writers think they could sum me up & relay what I’m about from an hour
long conversation so they could write my “bio” but I’ve had it. Screw that. I’ll tell it in my own
words.


I was born & raised In Chicago, Illinois. I grew up on the south side of the city where I attended
a gospel church. I was always around a lot of heartfelt soulful music & hardworking, real, down
to earth people. Although I no longer abide by any religion, I value the times I had and how they
shaped me to be what I am now.


I’ve moved around quite a bit living in all different parts of the US. While absorbing all sorts of
different cultures from here & around the world, I’ve developed my own sound.


I started releasing my own music in 2012 and haven’t stopped since. I play a wide range of
music from folk to blues, r&b, Gospel to rock, metal & alotta things in between. The main
constant amongst all the genres would be that it’s all done with emotion, feeling, heart & a lotta
soul. I mean what I say & deeply feel what I play.
I play covers of songs I dig sometimes and although some people may only know me because of
those, I’m hardly just a cover artist.


If you come see me play live and expect just one style or aspect of what I do, you may be
disappointed to learn that our shows are a roller coaster of emotions, musical styles, intensity &
energy. I get bored easily & love to mix things up. Be ready & bring your ear plugs just in case..


I’ve always been the underdog so to speak since I’ve never had the backing of a large record
label, big marketing firm or massive PR company & I truly like it that way. I feel as though I’ve
earned what I have through hard work, determination, a good bit of luck & the great relationships
with people I’ve made along the way. I’ve learned a lot of lessons the hard way being in this
“music business industry” and that’s alright by me. I’ve seen that with your support (the listeners
out there) I can make my wildest dreams come true.


If you want to listen to an artist that’s authentic, genuine & original then you’ve come to the
right place.


I hope you enjoy the music & will join me on this journey that I’m so extremely grateful to be
on. Thank you all so very much.


Love,


Shawn James
