biographical info
Shawn Brush is one of those rare musicians who is able to combine musicianship with an unsurpassed talent for songwriting. He has won two Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards and worked alongside David Essig and Natalie MacMaster to name just a few. Shawn's music is intense, genuine and deeply moving.
Shawn was born with a rare degenerative bone condition called Morquio's Disease which has stunted his growth and causes his bones to be brittle. While it certainly doesn't make life easy for him, the magic in his music speaks of a man with extraordinary capabilities. To hear him you would never know the challenges he has faced.
A Shawn Brush performance can get you laughing, welling up a tear or just shaking your head in wonder. One thing thats for sure is that it will be a deeply emotional experience. Unbeliavable flatpicked melodies backing up a voice that speaks straight to your soul. All tempered with cutting wit and deep humility.
He is a performer you never forget.
