Shawn Z has worked in all aspects of the music business for many years. He presents a dynamic
concoction of jokes, stories and songs designed to awaken the slumbering subconscious of the crowd.
His musical influences include Steve Earle, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Kris Kristofferson, Billy Joe Shaver, Tom Petty,
and many more.
Many of the pieces Shawn performs feature tongue and cheek humor sprung largely from his prolific imagination and,
whether he is playing cover songs or originals, the audience is able to identify with his unique performance.
Shawn's first independent release titled Wishful Drinkin' received airplay throughout the US and the world
on Americana, rock, country and NPR stations, as well as airplay on XM Satellite Radio's 'X-Country'
and Sirius Satellite Radio's 'Outlaw Country'. The album reached #11 on the Americana XM X-Country charts.
His second release titled Saint Jude Avenue was released on September 23, 2008 and a third album is currently
being planned.
