Bio

Emerging from the shadows of a small town by a river to become one of the influential writers and performers of the 21st Century. Pulling influences from too many places to list Shawn, as so few do, has a unique sound of his own. This can be written off to the fact that Shawn stepped away from playing music for almost 8 years. During these 8 years, times and music changed...Shawn didn’t really notice, didn’t really care. While trends were appearing and disappearing over the airwaves and television at a rapid pace, Shawn sat back listening to Frank Sinatra, uncaring and going unnoticed as far as song writing and performing was concerned. In 2002 Shawn decided on a whim to buy a guitar again. Sitting and playing became sitting and writing. At the request of Shawn’s best friend Christ Bantlis, Shawn began to write more seriously and record a few demos here and there. These demos had a target audience that consisted of Shawn, Christ, and sometimes friends Mitch and Jerome. Christ took some of the demos Shawn had done and put them on a CD. The target audience for the CD was the same as the target audience for the demo tapes. Christ kept on pushing Shawn to do something with his music. Ideas were born during 4 am recording sessions, late night DVD sessions and talks of comic books. Out of these talks came the ambition and desire for Shawn to once again throw his hat in the ring. A sound was needed. But what sound? Would it sell? Would people listen? These questions were answered when Christ talked Shawn into entering an Acoustic Rock Challenge. The response was more than anyone expected and many live engagements followed. Oh, and the sound Shawn was searching for? He quit looking and just played...people listened....people showed up to watch and before long the target audience became much larger. A Shawn Crosby E-mail list soon came about and things took off. How do you describe his music? You don’t, you cant, you just hand someone a cd, an email link, take them to a show and say “Just listen”
