Shawn Jones is an international touring Roots/Americana/Blues/Rock musician of over 30 years based in Southern California. Shawn tours with his band of "A level" touring/studio musicians as well as having a very dynamic solo show.
Shawn performs over 200+ dates a year in the USA, UK, and EU. There are six studio album releases including Shawn's new album "In My Blood" due out early 2024. The upcoming album is produced by legendary producer/engineer Niko Bolas and mastered by multi-Grammy winning mixing/mastering/producer Richard Dodd. The new release features world renowned musicians: Herman Matthews, The Memphis Horns, Sam Bolle, Josie Aiello, and Philip Parlapiano.
In recent years Shawn was invited to guest as opener for the five time Grammy winning legend Robert Cray on a 16 date theater tour of the UK and several shows in California.
Shawn's skills as a seasoned songwriter, guitarist and vocalist make him one of the most dynamic and relevant artists on today's Americana/Roots/Blues/Rock music scene. Growing up in the heartland of Southern California, one of Shawn's earliest recollections as a boy was playing guitars and harmonizing with his late father Danny Jones. That formidable experience led him to follow his dreams as a professional musician.
He's shared bills with many renowned musicians, including B.B. King, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Bonnie Raitt, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, Derek Trucks, Robben Ford, Joe Bonamassa, and many others. Shawn was also managed by the late great country music legend Waylon Jennings for a time, toured in his band, and played on his 1996 release "Right For The Time".
His variety of performances capture his audience whenever he's playing an acoustic set that highlights his soulful voice and incredible guitar skills or rocking the crowd with his band of world class musicians.
