Shawn Brush has been offering some amazing music for over five decades. He is an award-winning songwriter and plays various types of music like roots music, Americana, bluegrass, county, jazz, and more.
Shawn Brush is one of those rare musicians who's able to combine highly technical musicianship with memorable and impactful songwriting. He's won two Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards and has worked alongside Fred J. Eaglesmith, Natalie MacMaster, Ray Materick and Sherry Kean to name a few. Shawn's music is passionate, heartfelt and has a unique ability to touch pretty much anyone listening.
Early on in life Shawn was inspired by such greats as Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, John Prine and bluegrass legend Bill Monroe. He began playing the guitar at the age 14 and after attending a bluegrass jam in Hamilton Ont. Shawn felt something had changed in him forever. He became devotedly focused and entirely serious about his passion for music. As his music developed Shawn spent the summers traveling from one bluegrass festival to another, from Northern Ontario to Nashville Tennessee.
Not long after, while taking part in a local bluegrass jam Shawn found himself profoundly moved. He felt something had changed in him forever. In high school, Shawn took it upon himself to sneak into the local bars in order to trade licks with the older and more experienced musicians around town. Soon he was getting booked regularly into these same establishments as it became readily apparent he was something of a musical prodigy.
Next he joined a country/rock outfit, Timberline where he filled in as their pedal steel player. His demand both on stage and in the studio continued to grow steadily. At the same time Shawn wrote more and more songs of his own, following in the footsteps of his childhood heroes. As his music developed Shawn began spending his summers traveling from one bluegrass festival to another... from North Ontario all the way down to Nashville, Tennessee. Shawn was born with a rare degenerative condition called Morquio Syndrome (pronounced "more - Key - Oh") which affects all bones and tissue. While he's had more than his fair share of difficulties to overcome, his bright disposition and quick wit make it easy to forget he has a disability . When you listen to him sing and play you simply hear a man with an overwhelmingly infectious love of life
A Shaw n Brush performance can get you grinning from ear to ear, maybe well up a tear or two, and more than likely get your feet stomping and your hands clapping. The man and his music have a quiet power tha't͛s difficult to put into words. Somewhere between the virtuosity of his flatpicked guitar melodies and the earnest conviction in his words and voice you can sense the deep and unwavering passion Shawn Brush has for the music he plays and loves . He's a performer you never forget.
