On March 14th, I’ll be releasing a cover of CCR’s “Bad Moon Rising”.

I’ve always loved the song, but felt that the dark, ominous lyrics deserved a heavier, more haunting edge.

My cover strips away the original’s cheery tone & twists it into another thing entirely.

Tune in 2 weeks from now!

The 4th and final recording from our live sessions before last year’s summer tour is out everywhere now!

“Burn the Witch” is one of my favorites for many reasons. It’s got a subtle haunting build musically that matches the intense lyrical subject.

The first time I performed “Through the Valley” live was at a basement house show in Arkansas, 2012.

I never thought that song would reach where it has today.

It wasn’t til 5 years after this that it gained any traction.

Some things take a long time to grow.

Patience is hard.

Forever posting this once in a lifetime experience every year around winter time.

This was recorded over 11 years ago 🤯

Thank you to Anna Tran for capturing these beautiful moments and to Gravedancer for being my partner in crime back in the day.

I played “Attached” live for the first time ever at the old church on Saturday and it felt so damn good.

Thank you all for coming out to our last shows of the year.
It was magical and the perfect ending.

Just so ya know, handwritten lyric sheets will be available to order for one more week.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🍁

I don’t think I’ll be touring much next year and I’m looking forward to that.

More time to create, develop, write & record new art, music and videos.

More time to be living outside of just being “Shawn James” the musician / artist as well.

I’m excited.
