ABOUT THE ARTIST

When asked what else he'd want to be if not a musician, Shawn laughs and says, "I don't know, a poker player, an astronaut, a bum... That question doesn't even make sense to me, this is the only thing I've ever wanted to do."

Growing up outside of Boston, MA, when his good friend Chris Aviles showed him his first three chords, G, C, and D, something finally fit. He wrote his first song, Oak Tree, that night. "I needed music. It was the only true outlet I had for a long time. Chris will always be one of my biggest inspirations."

So 18 years, 5 bands, and over 1500 shows later, Shawn has shared the stage with the likes of Cake, Rusted Root, G-Love, The Fray, Moody Blues, Everclear and the list goes on. He cites one of his best memories as sitting at the bottom of Durango Mountain in CO with Arlo Guthrie, swapping stories over a few beers. Although music is still his most important outlet, it's different now. "It's not so drastic, I play music so I'm not a detriment to society. So I can give back and hopefully my honesty will allow others to listen to their own voice and not be afraid of who they are or what they want. The biggest compliment is when a crowd reflects back my passion for music. When someone says my music changed their life or that a particular song helped them through a tough time. It's humbling and motivating at the same time."

Designing lyrics from the sights and emotions around him and combining it with sounds from his inspirations; Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Counting Crows, Peter Gabriel, Richie Havens, BNL, and Ani DiFranco, Shawn creats original music that is hard to categorize.

Apart from playing with his band, Shawn Johnson and the Foundation, his 2009 solo release, Songs for Scenes, showcases the artists wide range of songwriting talent and musical production skills. Giving his fans a more intimate look at what he's all about.
