Atlanta singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins has had major adult alternative radio hits with "Lullaby and "Beautiful Wreck," and he writes introspective original songs in an Americana framework that sound great either solo or with a band. He's been called Jewel with a Y chromosome, and he's looking like he's going to match her career staying power. Shawn's music is overflowing with perfect rhymes, telling detail and underlying glimpses of truth. This is uncommonly literate stuff, striking in its insightfulness and compassion, all delivered in a companionable baritone. Shawn comes to Michigan with an album of new versions of his classic "Soul's Core" album (which included "Lullaby") and a whole set of songs drawing from his unusually deep catalog. Taos, New Mexico, songwriter Max Gomez is special guest.
