ARTIST OF THE DAY
Shawn McDonald
Originally from Oregon, now Seattle-based - Shawn McDonald crafts lazy melodies with rich lyrical depth. Shawn's journey through the musical landscape has taught him to appraciate and delight in the truly good things of life and to embrace each season as it unfolds. He yearns to find contentment and accept every step God leads him on.
Showcasing his love of all things artistic, Shawn invited artist Scott Erikson to paint an original work each night of the tour - on stage during the concert. At the end of each show, they auctioned off the art to benefit the Transpire Project (for artists).
Regional Fact: Shawn's deep appreciation for coffee makes Seattle the perfect place to live.
Hobbies: Music isn't Shawn's only artistic expression. He is also a budding photographer.
Latest Album: Closer (Coming March 22)
