Shawn James

Vocals, Guitar and Keyboards


Shawn is an accomplished guitarist and award winning singer /songwriter. You will find her music intelligent and earthy -- like a dash of Joni Mitchell with a sprinkle of Sheryl Crow. Her original writing uses ingredients from life and love as she contemplates herself and the world around her.


Also performing regularly as a solo artist, she delights audiences with renditions of the songs she normally plays with the full band, but delivered in a more intimate, “un-plugged” style.


Shawn has been touring the Southeastern United States for years, captivating audiences wherever she goes.
