Cover Songs
Shaun's cover songs range from classic rock songs, top 40, to the in-between indie obscure. He delivers them in a way that is fresh and exciting. Taking a famous pop song and being able to morph it into his own composition is a delightful surprise from an audience perspective. Applying a loop pedal to his performance really shows off his guitar and improvisational skills he's acquired from 25 years playing the instrument and completing a bachelors degree in contemporary performance (studying jazz guitar at the Australian institute of music). Influenced by a wide spectrum of genres, Shaun recaps "I was never one to pigeon hole myself when it came to music. "One week it was classic rock such as led Zepplin, Hendrix, Clapton, the next it was Pop and Reggae such as Michael jackson , Prince, Bob Marely and then Punk Rock to Jazz". "I Love it all".
Vocally his rustic smooth tone compliments the mellow grooves on guitar providing a soothing enjoyable experience.
You can find him playing solo or in a duo combo with accomplished Drummer Jamal Salem. www.jamalsalem.com.au
