Singer, harmonica player, composer and producer Reverend Shawn Amos is convinced his life mission is to give his music to all places and corners where he is required, a music that is the result of his own investigations based on secular gospel, old age tradition, raw blues and a few garage rhythms With all that, he gives shape and substance to his own material, which is fruit of his undeniable creativity that can be enjoyed along twelve curious album cuts that will certainly surprise listeners Son of a chocolate cookie production magnate, Amos was executive director at Rhino Entertainment and vice-president of A&R at Shout! Factory, where he recorded and produced countless Grammy nominated projects His mother’s suicide made him reconsider his life so he devoted himself to the church ministry and music, where he puts all his strength, energy and interest He discovered the blues reading Peter Guralnick’s book, Feel Like Going Home and, for some time, he travelled to see different places that were described in the book, becoming totally impressed by the music and stories of Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Junior Wells or Muddy Waters It is time now to discover the music of Reverend Shawn Amos and the musicians who back him, in a unique journey to his inner world
