About: "Shawn Snyder's original acoustic folk-rock is lyric-driven, with an organic simplicity, utmost sincerity, and unmistakable groove" (Beat Magazine, Melbourne, Australia), soulfully blurring the lines between folk, rock, jazz, and blues. Whether treating audiences to an intimate solo-acoustic performance or collaborating with other musicians, his live shows are always impassioned and expressively earnest. Shawn considers among his influences the likes of James Taylor, Paul Simon, Lyle Lovett, Martin Sexton, Tom Waits, John Gorka, Patti Griffin, and Louden Wainwright III.
Shawn returned to his hometown South Florida for a longer-than-usual stay and rapidly immersed in the local musical subculture. Playing an average of three shows a week to always-growing audiences, his name, music, and hair fast become recognizable staples in the scene, and he was acknowledged by CityLink Magazine as South Florida's "hardest-working solo-artist." This uncharacteristically stationary year allowed for the release of his debut solo-album, Dog Eared Pages, and multiple mini-tours were launched in support...
The road proved far too tempting, however, and the nomadic instinct passionately persistent. In August 2006, Shawn took off in his Hyundai Elantra for what's been more than a year of cross-country coastal pinballing. Over 40,000 Miles to Date. 120 Plus shows. 50 Some Odd Cities. And More Than 25 States.
During this time, via HomeTown PitStops, he also managed to record and release his latest album, Romantic's Requiem. A nine month collaboration with friend and producer George Zhen, this follow up to 2006's "DogEaredPages" promises to surprise those only familiar with Shawn Snyder's solo-acoustic work to date. With nine other musicians weaving their way through its thirteen tracks, "Romantic's Requiem" is a multicolored concept album of sorts. A patchwork look at love and disillusionment from a variety of snapshot angles, on a winding road through varied musical landscapes. Digging from seven some odd years of songwriting, its tracks prove sometimes humorous, always nostalgic, occasionally painful, and perhaps poignant.
One thing remains consistent in his art. Whether mining the internal world of love, heartache, and soulful striving, or playing storytelling curator to his eavesdropping on the world at large, his observations are always colored with his unique perspective: an affirmation of life, hope, and beauty in the face of sadness and struggle.
