Born Feb. 11, 1971, Nova Scotia based guitarist / songwriter Shawn Hebb has not even come close to seeing it all…..but he’s seen quite a bit.
He cut his teeth playing classic rock on the Northern Canadian bar circuit,
played funk, blues and soul with a variety of bands in Toronto,
and lived in Bangkok and Hong Kong performing in a 6 piece top 40 show
band. As well, Shawn has played guitar and recorded for artists like
Geoffrey Tyler, Jeff Scott and Amer Diab, toured America with the Beach
Boys tribute acts Surf’s Up, and the Kokomo Beach Band, and performed as
a solo act on cruise ships in the Caribbean, and the coasts of North
America.His self released album Tourist is a folk pop journey of love and loss, of finding your way in the world and life. With hints of country and folk, Tourist has been compared to The Shins, John Mayer, Snow Patrol and Marc Cohn.
Shawn Hebb writes songs you can relate to….stories that have happened to you, or someone you know…..songs that hold you while telling that story.
Shawn is as influenced by Colin Hay, Nick Drake and Tom Waits as he is by Motley Crue and Iron Maiden, by Chuck Berry and the Beatles as he is Duran Duran and Splt Endz, by Fat Boy Slim as he is John Mayer.
“Shawn Hebb is definitely a melody guy, right down to the handful of tasteful guitar solos...warm-up your vocal cords, there's plenty to sing along to.” Kevin Zarnett – The Muses Muse
